Sociedad Española de Medicina Geriátrica

What Sociedad Española de Medicina Geriátrica does

Sociedad Española de Medicina Geriátrica (SEMEG) is a private non-profit professional medical association founded in 2001 and headquartered in Madrid, Spain. It is the leading Spanish medical society exclusively dedicated to geriatric medicine, serving practicing geriatricians, geriatric residents (R0-R4), related healthcare professionals, and—as a secondary audience—older adults and caregivers seeking health information. The society operates through a tiered membership program (Numerary Members at €70/year, discounted Resident Members, Associate Members, and free Foreign Members), annual national congresses, specialized courses, five thematic working groups (Falls, Morphofunctional Assessment, Cognitive Impairment, Cardiogeriatrics, Ageism), a junior division (SEMEG Junior), a podcast series, and a portfolio of consensus documents, clinical protocols, and Píldoras GBE evidence summaries.

The underlying technology is a WordPress-based membership and content platform hosted at semeg.es, providing public-facing content (news, disease information, caregiver resources), a members-only private area for publications and videos, online course delivery, event registration, and membership management. The society supplements the website with active social channels (Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube) and a Spotify-distributed podcast. There is no documented AI, API, or proprietary software product.

Monetization is diversified across recurring membership dues, paid course and congress registrations (with member discounts), institutional sponsorships from partners such as Nestlé Health Science and Vegenat Healthcare, grants, and collaborative programming with regional and international societies (EuGMS, CIBERFES, SEGG, SGGCyL, ALMA, FACME, AEPG). SEMEG is independently governed by its members and elected board with no parent company or external investors.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG): Global umbrella federation for gerontology and geriatrics societies. Operates worldwide congresses and networks, comparable to SEMEG's mission but at global rather than national scope.
• British Geriatrics Society (BGS): UK's national professional membership body for those involved in the care of older people. Comparable society structure (membership tiers, conferences, clinical resources, special interest groups) and shares with SEMEG the challenge of advancing a relatively small specialty.
• American Geriatrics Society (AGS): The largest US professional society for geriatricians, offering a comparable portfolio of clinical guidelines (e.g., Beers Criteria), journals, annual meetings, and member education. Serves the US market but provides a benchmark for SEMEG's content and operating model.

Direct peers

• European Geriatric Medicine Society (EuGMS): The European-level umbrella organization for national geriatric medicine societies. SEMEG is a full EuGMS member; EuGMS operates the same society model (membership, congresses, clinical guidelines, specialty examinations) at a continental scale.
• Sociedad Española de Geriatría y Gerontología (SEGG): Spain's other principal medical society dedicated to aging and geriatrics. Most direct comparable to SEMEG in mission, audience, and geographic focus; jointly organizes events with SEMEG yet competes for the same pool of Spanish geriatric specialists.
• Academia Latinoamericana de Medicina del Adulto Mayor (ALMA): Latin American academy for geriatric medicine. SEMEG reserves spots in ALMA courses for members and collaborates on educational initiatives, making ALMA a peer organization with overlapping content, audience, and CME delivery model for Spanish-speaking geriatricians.

Regional players

• Sociedade Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologia (SBGG): Brazil's national society for geriatric medicine and gerontology. Comparable society model (membership, congress, journals, guidelines) for a large Spanish-speaking/Lusophone population in Latin America.
• Asociación Mexicana de Gerontología y Geriatría (AMGG): Mexican professional society for gerontology and geriatric medicine. Comparable operating model and Spanish-language content focus, but primarily serves the Mexican market.

Others

• CIBER de Fragilidad y Envejecimiento Saludable (CIBERFES): Spanish biomedical research network on frailty and healthy aging. Co-organizes major congresses with SEMEG (e.g., IV Reunión CIBERFES with X Reunión Nacional SEMEG 2024), making it a key research/thematic partner rather than a membership competitor.
• Federación de Asociaciones Científico Médicas Españolas (FACME): Spanish federation of medical specialty societies. SEMEG is a member society within FACME and developed the FACME-endorsed CME course on medication use in elderly patients, making FACME a structural ecosystem partner rather than a direct competitor.
