The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society
(UHMS)
is an international, non-profit organization serving over 2,500 members
from more than 50 countries. Most UHMS members are diving or
hyperbaric scientists and physicians. The Associate members are composed
of nurses, technicians, respiratory therapists and others who work in
the field of diving and hyperbaric medicine.
The
Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) is the primary source of
information for diving and hyperbaric medicine physiology
worldwide. It was founded as the Undersea Medical Society in 1967
but in 1986 changed the name to Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society.
The name change reflects the rapidly growing interest in hyperbaric
oxygen physiology and therapy. The purpose of the UHMS is to provide
scientific information to protect the health of sport, military
and commercial divers and to improve the scientific basis of hyperbaric
oxygen therapy, promote sound treatment protocols and standards of
practice and provide CME accreditation.
For more information about membership and
services, contact the UHMS, 21 West Colony Place, Suite 280, Durham, NC
27705-5590 (www.uhms.org).
The continuing medical education mission of the
Pacific Chapter of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society is to develop and promote programs that improve the scientific knowledge
of physicians and other allied health professionals, in the Pacific
Coast and Western regions of the United States and Canada, in matters
related to undersea and hyperbaric environments and appropriate
applications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
