- Health and Medicine Division (HMD) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine HMD
-
On March 15, 2016, the division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies) that focuses on health and medicine was renamed the Health and Medicine Division (HMD) instead of using the name Institute of Medicine (IOM). This new name builds on the heritage of the IOM's work in medicine while emphasizing its increased focus on a wider range of health matters.
The Health and Medicine Division maintains the quality and soundness of our past health policy advice to the nation through rigorous study processes and the independent, objective analysis and advice for which the IOM and the National Academies have been known. HMD will continue to conduct consensus studies and convening activities through the six core boards that were part of the IOM.
