The UHMS is the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine Society, run by and
for MDs.  As such I usually find it the best single US source for
medical information related to diving.  They allow sponsored Associate
Members who are not MDs, and publish a journal which is often quite
interesting (but at other times quite boring :() They also hold annual
conferences: this year's will be in Denver, CO.  Finally, they sell
reference materials, including some of their own authoring as well as
an abstract service, and the staff at the Bethesda office will do
literature searches.  I believe all services are for fee, and they may
be limited to members, but I'm not sure.

They can be contacted at:

Undersea & Hyperbaric Medical Society
9650 Rockville Pike
Bethesda, Maryland 20814
