The first meeting of the A.M.A. Board of Directors was held on 9 May 1924.

During the 1940-41 period, the Emergency Care Shelters (K.E.P.) were established, staffed by volunteer physicians. Their primary mission was to provide medical care, food, and clothing. Doctors who served voluntarily in the K.E.P. had their service recognized as pensionable following certification by the A.M.A.

In 1956, the Medical Association of Kallithea was dissolved and merged with the Athens Medical Association.

The current Board of Directors of the Athens Medical Association is its 25th.
