Membership Criteria

Dear colleagues,

Indian Medical Association (IMA) is the largest and the fastest growing non-government organization (NGO) of over two and half lakhs health care providers. It spans across the country and has over 1800 branches. It attracts a variety of physicians from MBBS doctors, specialists and super specialists from urban, sub-urban and rural India and a wide age span. The primary mission of IMA is to unite the medical fraternity under one banner and ultimately advance the medical science for the betterment of the masses. Simultaneously, it seeks to safeguard the interest of the medical fraternity in this ever changing milieu of medical profession. In the light of this ever changing field, Medical Council of India (MCI) has recently recognized the importance of continuous medical education (CME). It has now become mandatory that the medical fraternity comply with the CME credit hours regulation to renew their medical registration. IMA is accredited by the MCI to grant credit hour points to doctors and has taken the onus of advancing this complex field by hosting regular conferences, CME’s which are very well received.
