Welcome to the International Medicine Institute (IMI). Here on our website, you’ll find details about the groundbreaking work that the IMI is carrying out, from providing a gateway to the inventive healthcare services and procedures that UHealth’s 1,500 physicians offer, to empowering top physicians from our hemisphere and around the word with medical education and practical experiences and conducting pioneering international clinical trials that save lives.
The IMI takes a comprehensive approach to healthcare, specializing in a high touch methodology to pave the way for international patients to access leading healthcare services, and international practitioners to receive education and engage in research in their home countries. I would like to share some details about this work with you.
Our research and clinical trials are diverse, but share a common aim: unlocking the future of medicine today. We work with individuals and institutions around Latin America — from Colombia to Panama to Paraguay — to generate new knowledge. And we translate this knowledge into real-world applications and technologies that save lives. For example: the more than 100transcatheter aortic valve replacements we’ve carried out, serving patients who couldn’t risk the danger of open-heart surgery.
Our educational programs equip talented doctors and medical students with the tools and skills they need to make a difference around the world. Through the International Medicine Institute Medical Training Programs, we have built a network of thousands of doctors across every continent.
Whether you are a patient, researcher, medical graduate or medical student, you’re in the best of hands at the International Medicine Institute. Thank you for visiting. We look forward to serving your healthcare needs.
