...Drs. Klatz and Goldman also co-founded the National Academy of Sports Medicine (www.nasm.org), the global leader in certification, continuing education, solutions and tools for the health, fitness, sports performance and sports medicine professionals. Today NASM serves more than 100,000 members in 80 countries.

The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine

The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M; www.worldhealth.net) is the world's leading non-profit educational medical organization dedicated to the scientific premise that diseases and disabilities of human aging are largely preventable, treatable, and perhaps even reversible. A4M serves as an advocate for the new clinical specialty of anti-aging medical science and acts as a conduit to physicians, scientists, and the educated public who wish to benefit from the almost daily breakthroughs in biotechnology which promise both a greater quality as well as quantity of life. The A4M is the:

• First to create the anti-aging medical movement.
• Founder of the world’s fastest-growing medical specialty. • Foremost academic leader in a $50 billion marketplace.

In 2005, membership in the A4M numbered 17,500, the majority of whom are physicians, scientists, researchers, and health practitioners. Of these health professionals, A4M represents a vast array of medical subspecialties:




Today worldwide, A4M estimates that there are more than 50,000 anti-aging physicians in nearly 100 nations. Dr. Klatz observes that: "Singlehandedly, A4M has been largely responsible for the shift in the very basic conceptions regarding human aging. Before A4M, notions of extending the healthy human lifespan were dismissed as unsupported and unscientific. Prior to A4M's founding in 1992, scientists who pursued approaches to reverse or halt the process of human aging risked loss of funding, while physicians doing the same risked forfeit of academic positions or censure."

Since its inception in 1992, when A4M consisted of 12 founding members, the organization has experienced unprecedented exponential growth. In 22006 (projected), it will represent 18,500 members in 90 nations. This is a direct result of the mainstreaming of anti-aging medicine.


On the success of A4M and the anti-aging medical movement, Dr. Klatz refers us to a quote from Max Planck (1848-1947), German physicist and Nobel Laureate: “An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents … its opponents gradually die out and the growing generation is familiar with the idea from the beginning.”

World Renowned Scientific Conferences in Anti-Aging Medicine

The Annual International Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine, recognized as the world's premier scientific events on topics relating to medical interventions to prevent and treat the diseases and disabilities associated with the biological process of aging, is co-sponsored by the A4M. The Congress Sessions are approved for AMA Category 1 credits for physicians by The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). The Annual International Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine program includes didactic lectures, panel discussions, and live demonstrations. Physicians attending the Annual International Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine may qualify to receive Continuing Medical Education (CME) Category 1 credits that accrue towards the American Medical Association's (AMA) Physician Recognition Award (PRA)...
