IMCAC
Research &
Innovation Framework

The International Medical Competency Accreditation Council (IMCAC) provides a structured Research & Innovation Framework designed to advance all medical specialties and sub-specialties. Our framework ensures that clinical, academic, and translational research is ethical, globally recognized, and impactful in shaping the future of healthcare.

Partnerships & Institutional Collaboration
IMCAC invites universities, hospitals, colleges, research centers, academies, and medical associations across all specialties to collaborate. Together, we can build a global research ecosystem that raises the quality and credibility of medical education and practice worldwide.

Why Our Framework Matters Across Specialties
🔹Universal Standards – One framework, adaptable to every medical specialty.
🔹 Cross-Disciplinary Research – Encouraging collaboration across specialties for holistic patient outcomes.
🔹 Ethical & Transparent ‍– Research aligned with global ethical and regulatory standards.
🔹 Innovation for All Fields – Supporting new discoveries in clinical, surgical, diagnostic, preventive, and allied health sciences.
