International Institute of Medicine and Science, Inc. is a private, non-profit institution dedicated to the betterment of life through advanced medical science research, education, and service (to the communities we serve, to humanity). We are a "virtual" professional-to-professional (P2P) organization, perhaps the first of its kind, which co-opts interested physicians and scientists in all relevant fields.
We provide an incubator environment where physicians and scientists of diverse disciplines from all over the globe can freely collaborate in charting novel directions in research, education and service beyond conventional avenues and unconstrained by the limitations of traditional settings. We are also a pluridisciplinary participatory platform (Medical Science 2.0+) to foster innovation, launch collaborative original programs in search of financial and other support at minimal overhead cost, provide specialized education, and engage in community and humanitarian service.
We derive our effectiveness from the inter-human connections and the professional network synergy enabled by modern-day digital communication and the Internet, and will grow in effectiveness and import in proportion to the number of physicians and scientists who will make more use of them. In a specialized way, we encapsulate the idea of the proliferation of professional interconnectivity and interactivity enabled by the web. (For other benefits of collaboration with the Institute, please consult the page "Resources" of this website.)
The only requirement on potential participants is their readiness, willingness, and ability to contribute to the vision, mission, goals, and objectives of the Institute as set forth in its Strategic Plan. Interested individuals are invited to submit a current curriculum vitae together with a statement of purpose, an outline of projects of current interest in research or/and education or/and service, and a description of the facilities they could use or make available for use to other Institute colleagues to carry out such and related projects. All research, education, and service activities conducted under the aegis of the Institute, or on behalf of the Institute, are undertaken under the Golden Rule of academic freedom. Any resulting publications or/and other intellectual property will be credited, to the extent appropriate, to the Institute for the pursuit of its stated non-profit activities.
