About KAEND
To this end, after the establishment of the Association, we have invited domestic and international scholars through academic conferences every year to learn about the latest developments and new discoveries in the field of electrodiagnostic medicine and publish many excellent studies in various institutions.
In addition, since 1999, the Association has been publishing the journal, and has been making efforts for information exchange and academic development in the field of electrodiagnostic medicine. In 2002, as these activities and efforts were recognized, the Association joined the Korean Academy of Medical Sciences as an associate member, which facilitated the academic activities and information exchange of the association.
The regular members of Korean Association of EMG-Electrodiagnostic Medicine consist of physiatrists and neurologists in Korea and the Association also has the associate and honorary membership systems.

In addition, we invite scholars who are actively engaged in research abroad to learn new knowledge. Since the first academic conference was held at the New World Hotel on November 28, 1997, the annual academic conference has been held every year except for the year 2000. Although it was not held in 2000, annual academic conference began to be held again in 2001. Since 2003, annual conferences, workshops and training courses have been held separately. A total of 18 academic conferences were held by 2015. To standardize and improve the quality of electromyography (EMG) and other electrodiagnostic tests, the Korean Association of EMG-Electrodiagnostic Medicine has conducted its own electrodiagnostic medicine quality control examination voluntarily for faculty members responsible for residency training. We have made every effort to maintain the proper quality of the quality control examination conducted every year since the first examination in 2008.
