About IBMS Certifications
The International Board of Medicine and Surgery (IBMS) certifies the finest healthcare providers in the world, complementing the Joint Commission International and other accrediting organizations. Certification includes review of national licensure and specialty certification, an affidavit of compliance with standards of international medical evaluation and treatment, and a pledge to abide by IBMS’s Code of Ethics.
What it assures
IBMS Gold certification assures the healthcare provider has met basic IBMS standards for safety, agrees to the IBMS Code of Ethics, and has documented indemnification for potential complications.
Registration fee required
An IBMS Registration fee must be submitted prior to IBMS review and issuance of certification or affiliation. Centers of Healthcare Excellence (Hospitals/Clinics) should contact Dr. D. Kalin, IBMS Chairman, directly prior to registration: drkalin@ibms.us · +813.966.1431.
