The main aims of the Norwegian Medical Association are to secure the professional, social and financial interests of our members.

As an important stakeholder, the Norwegian Medical Association takes an active part in the development of the health care system in Norway. Approximately 97 % of the physicians in Norway are members of the Norwegian Medical Association. Persons with a medical degree and medical students are eligible for membership in the Norwegian Medical Association.
