What is AAAM?
The Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine (AAAM) is a professional multidisciplinary organization dedicated to limiting injuries from motor vehicle crashes. It was founded in 1957 by the Medical Advisory Committee to the Sports Car Club of America (six practicing physicians whose avocation was motor racing). Since 1964, full and equal membership status has been available to all road safety professionals and the focus has expanded to encompass the globe.
Our 57th Annual Scientific Conference
The AAAM conference offers compelling content and unparalleled networking opportunities. Join us in "La vieille capitale" (the old capital) -- Quebec City -- next fall (September 22-25, 2013). With an array of content-rich topics covering current knowledge in traffic injury control, Quebec City is where all road safety professionals should be.
What is the Abbreviated Injury Scale?
The Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) incorporates current medical terminology providing an internationally accepted tool for ranking injury severity. AAAM created and maintains the Abbreviated Injury Scale: THE internationally accepted tool for describing and coding injuries of all types.
