IIAM conducted a poster presentation about its new Neonatal Donation Program at the annual NATCO meeting, August 10-13, 2013 in San Diego, CA. The donor family spent months contacting hospitals and facilities they hoped would assist with their desire for donation and were met with opposition.
In January 2012, IIAM’s Anatomical Division was acquired by a new partner, Platinum Training. Under the terms of the agreement, IIAM will continue to provide donor family services for its Gift of Body program to families throughout the U.S., working with organ and tissue recovery agencies, hospices and funeral homes.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has awarded the International Institute for the Advancement of Medicine (IIAM) the Humane Seal of Approval. PCRM noted, “IIAM’s organs and tissues are invaluable, allowing scientists to perform humane and effective research.”
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the International Institute for the Advancement of Medicine (IIAM).
