The Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF; Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften), established in 1962[1] and located in Frankfurt am Main, is the umbrella organisation of more than 150 German medical societies.

It coordinates the national program of medical guidelines.[2]

It is the German representative in the "Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences CIOMS" at WHO.[2]

Guidelines

The AWMF applies four levels of classification to medical guidelines: S3, S2e, S2k and S1.[3]

S3 Evidence and consensus-based The highest level, for guidelines based on both a systematic analysis of the evidence and a structured consensus among a representative committee
S2e Evidence-based Guidelines based on a systematic analysis of the evidence
S2k Consensus-based Guidelines based on a structured consensus among a representative committee
S1 Expert recommendations The lowest level, for expert recommendations that have not been developed systematically
