Medical Anthropology Europe (MAE) – Current and Former Board Members
At the EASA meeting in Vienna in 2004, a steering group was elected which prepared the establishment of the network at the EASA meeting in Bristol in 2006 – then under the name EASA Medical Anthropology Network. In 2019, the board members renamed the network to Medical Anthropology Europe (MAE).
The board is elected for a two years term of office and a board member can be re-elected for a second term in the same function. Below is a list of current and previous board members.
