Physico-Medical Society
The Physical-Medical Society in Würzburg is a German medical-scientific society founded in 1849. It continues the tradition of the " Zoological-Physiological Society ", which the physician Ignaz Döllinger headed from 1803 to 1823. In 1853 she incorporated the " Würzburg Philosophical-Medical Society " founded in 1827 by the coroner Johann Baptist Friedreich into her society.
The society wanted to show similarities between medicine and natural sciences and to promote their subjects. Furthermore, it motivated practicing physicians to work scientifically and enabled students to participate in research during their studies.
Since 1929 the Physical-Medical Society has been awarding the “ Adolf Fick Prize ” with the Adolf Fick Foundation .
