The Delaware Academy of Medicine is a private, nonprofit organization founded in 1930. Our mission is to promote professional and lay health education, and to maintain medical libraries and archives. We provide a meeting place for the medical and dental professions, and related organizations. In addition, we provide financial support for medical and dental students.

Governed by a Board of Directors, the Academy is the premiere resource for health information in Delaware . Academy staff and volunteers work to combine print, digital, and Internet resources, with the knowledge and insight gained from decades of experience in managing medical information. Our services help you save time and effort when finding the health information you need. We provide a broad range of information and educational services to the public, and to medical and dental professionals who are members of the Academy.

We offer a range of services to the general public including: consumer health libraries in all three counties of Delaware , book and literature search services, public health information forums, student financial aid, and various training programs. A range of “members only” services are also available.
