Institute for the Advancement of Multicultural & Minority Medicine

The Institute for the Advancement of Multicultural & Minority Medicine (IAMMM) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that is focused on the elimination of health disparities among under-represented and underserved multicultural communities.

We believe that the wide gaps in minority health can be eliminated through collaboration with corporate entities, universities and colleges, proponents in elected office, consumer advocacy organizations, and the medical and public health community.

IAMMM is one of the leading constituency organizations for research, education, and advocacy for the elimination of disparities in health and healthcare among underrepresented and underserved multi-cultural communities.

IAMMM works with partners and alliances to eliminate disparities in health and healthcare among underrepresented and underserved multi-cultural communities through research, education, and advocacy.
