Finnish Society of Addiction Medicine (FSAM)
The Finnish Society of Addiction Medicine (FSAM) is a multidisciplinary professional association dedicated to advancing addiction medicine, research, education, and evidence-based care in Finland. The association has almost four hundred members.
FSAM promotes professional collaboration and scientific exchange by organizing educational events, seminars, and scientific meetings for healthcare and social care professionals working in the field of addiction and substance use disorders. The Society also provides expert opinions and statements to public authorities on current issues related to addiction medicine and addiction treatment.
A key part of FSAM's work is fostering collaboration among professionals from different disciplines. This includes the Society's Addiction Nursing Expert Group, which brings together addiction nurses and other professionals with special expertise in addiction care and nursing practice.
FSAM maintains active partnerships with both national and international organizations in the field of addiction medicine. Through these collaborations, the Society promotes knowledge exchange, supports scientific cooperation, and invites leading experts to Finland as lecturers, educators, and research partners.
Membership is open to licensed physicians, medical students, registered nurses, and other professionals with relevant education in health and social care. Organizations and private individuals may support the Society's mission as supporting members.
