WAME is an organisation seeking the active participation of editors of peer-reviewed medical journals throughout the world.

WAME has established Bylaws and operates through a Board of Directors and 6 Committees (see WAME People): all unpaid volunteers. All members are encouraged to take an active interest in the listserves, committees, and development activities of the association.

WAME Committees

The Ethics Committee, chaired by Lorraine Ferris, provides Ethics Consultations and has developed a number of Ethics Resources.
