IAMRA Physician Information Exchange (PIE)

The PIE is a platform that facilitates enhanced information sharing across international borders for IAMRA members (who are medical regulatory authorities) about the doctors that they register, in the interests of public protection. This may include information about doctors who have had action taken against them and who may attempt to practice in another jurisdiction. It may also include those who make fraudulent applications for registration.

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 is an exclusive service for IAMRA members and a key focus area of the IAMRA Strategic Plan 2024-2026. The PIE platform and other useful information including a Quick Start Guide and Guidelines are available on the members-only section of this website.
