IAMRA Physician Information Exchange (PIE)

The Physician Information Exchange (PIE) is part of IAMRA’s ongoing efforts to support and encourage the exchange of information among medical regulatory authorities for the purpose of global patient safety. All IAMRA members have access to this resource and are encouraged to interrogate the database about any doctors applying for a license within their jurisdiction and to enter information about doctors who have had significant regulatory sanctions taken against them and may try to become licensed in another country

A recent international investigation, led by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and 48 media partners across 46 countries—including Canada’s Investigative Journalism Bureau, the Times of London, VG of Norway, Le Monde, ZDF, Der Spiegel, and others – has revealed how some physicians have evaded accountability by moving between jurisdictions, exploiting gaps in regulatory communication.

As part of this investigation, this article specifically mentions IAMRA’s PIE as a key solution to these challenges. 

PIE has also been featured in many of our newsletters, and recent IAMRA webinars have focused on the importance of utilizing PIE, with case examples from the UK, New Zealand and the USA. 

The PIE platform and other useful information including a Quick Start Guide and Guidelines are available on the members-only section of this website.

Please see PIE FAQs.

Please contact Sarah Heermans, IAMRA Director of Operations, at sheermans@iamra.com for more information and to register for the PIE.

    Message from the Chair


    Dear Leaders and Colleagues, 

    As 2025 draws to a close, I’m reflecting with gratitude on IAMRA’s remarkable achievements over the past year. 

    16th IAMRA International Conference on Medical Regulation, Dublin, Ireland, September 3-6 

    Hosted by the Medical Council of Ireland under the theme “People-focused regulation for a safer global community,” the conference brought together 453 delegates from 35 countries, exceeding our participation goals. See Conference Summary

    The feedback was strong: 91% of attendees were satisfied or very satisfied, 73% expressed interest in future conferences, and 85% want to engage in other IAMRA activities. These results affirm the value of our commitment to global dialogue on medical and health practitioner regulation. 

    Looking ahead to Hong Kong, September 1-4, 2027, we'll build on this success by enhancing inclusivity, expanding access to participation, and creating more interactive opportunities. Thank you to everyone who made Dublin 2025 a success. 

    Members General Assembly 2025 

    Held on Friday, September 5 during the Conference, it was attended by Delegates from 24 countries across all six world regions. Highlights included: 

    • Approval of Bylaws changes to improve financial sustainability and executive functions,  
    • Approval of member resolutions on verifying Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities and developing policy for ethical use of AI in patient care, 
    • Election of Dr. Divine Banyubala (Medical and Dental Council of Ghana) as Chair-Elect, and 
    • Board appointments for Mr. Paul Reynolds (Europe), Dr. Jeancarlo Cavalcante (South America), Dr. Muhannad Almughthim (Asia), and Dr. Ainslie Mihalchuk (Non-regional). 

    IAMRA Webinar Program 

    IAMRA continued its annual webinar series in 2025 focusing on current and emerging regulatory issues including quality assurance of medical education, AI in regulation, and embedding compassion in medical education and regulation. Visit the Members Only section to access the recordings. 

    An exciting program is being planned for 2026, including a February presentation from the Indian National Medical Commission on their regulatory reforms. The date, time and registration details will be announced soon.

    Physician Information Exchange (PIE) 

    As reported in recent communications and webinars, IAMRA's PIE has been identified in international media as a key solution for sharing information about the international movement of physicians with regulatory sanctions.  

    All IAMRA Members can access PIE. Every entry submitted and search conducted strengthens our global network to prevent physicians with troubling histories from moving into your jurisdiction undetected. To get started, please contact Sarah Heermans atsecretariat@iamra.com.

    2026 Membership Survey 

    We’ll deliver our next IAMRA Membership Survey in early 2026. Your feedback is important and will guide IAMRA's strategic planning and program development, helping us focus on what matters most to our Members and Partners. Please look out for the email invitation from the Secretariat. 

    On behalf of the Board, I wish all IAMRA’s Members, Partners and friends a wonderful holiday season and a healthy, peaceful, and prosperous New Year. Together with the Secretariat Team, we look forward to serving you in 2026.  

    Warm Regards,

    Nicole Krishnaswami, JD
