Federation Medical Association

The Federation Medical Association (or FMA) was an organization of Federation physicians. They were a civilian counterpart to Starfleet Medical.

In 2380, following a visit to New Paris, Federation President Nanietta Bacco spoke to the head of the FMA about a new treatment for Irumodic Syndrome developed by the New Parisians. Prior to this, these researchers had been unable to get the attention of anyone at the FMA. 


 * The organization is refered to only as "FMA" in the novel; the full name is assumed, based on the apparent similarity to the American Medical Association (AMA). It is unclear whether the FMA is a governmental agency or an independent one.
