CAMFiC - Societat Catalana de Medicina Familiar i Comunitària

What CAMFiC - Societat Catalana de Medicina Familiar i Comunitària does

CAMFiC (Societat Catalana de Medicina Familiar i Comunitària) is a non-profit scientific and professional association founded in 1994, headquartered in Barcelona, and serving family and community medicine specialists practicing in Catalonia. The organization operates as the recognized professional society for this specialty, with approximately 33 employees supporting a membership-driven structure. Its core activities span continuous medical education, clinical guideline development, consensus-building across primary care topics, and public-facing health engagement.

Its product and content portfolio includes clinical guides, consensus documents on conditions such as cardio-renal-hepatic-metabolic syndrome, patient education sheets, a Bioethics framework for artificial intelligence in medicine, and training programs including clinical ultrasound (II Congrés d'Ecografia Clínica, 250+ attendees) and generative-AI literacy for primary care. The society also runs the SumaSalut public-health program and maintains an international cooperation commission, positioning it as both a professional body and a normative voice in Catalan primary care.

The business model is membership-based: revenue derives from annual member dues paid by family physicians, fees from continuing-education courses and congresses, sales of clinical publications, and likely sponsorship from pharmaceutical and health-sector partners. Pricing is set at the individual-practitioner level rather than enterprise contracts, with no disclosed ARR, funding rounds, or audited financials in the available data.
