The Académie nationale de médecine, in English the National Academy of Medicine, is a French learned society at 16 Rue Bonaparte in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. King Louis XVIII created it in 1820 at the urging of Baron Antoine Portal, first as the Académie royale de médecine, and gave it the legal status of two earlier bodies, the Académie royale de chirurgie of 1731 and the Société royale de médecine of 1776. Its 1820 edict told it to answer government requests on public health, epidemics, diseases specific to a country, legal medicine, the spread of smallpox vaccination and the appraisal of new and secret medicines and mineral waters. It was renamed the Académie impériale de médecine in 1852 and the Académie nationale de médecine in 1947, and its present building by the architect Justin Rochet was built between 1899 and 1902.
