Share Your Passion for Global Healthcare and Earn Rewards

Our organization has always thrived on the principle that the best way to create change in healthcare is to empower those who have experienced its transformative power firsthand. When you participated in an IMA internship, you entered a world where clinical excellence met cultural immersion. 

You learned how healthcare is delivered in diverse environments, where resource limitations and local customs intertwine to shape patient care. Your journey demonstrates the value of international experience, enriching your professional skills and broadening your perspective on global health challenges.

The IMA Referral Program is a natural extension of this philosophy. By encouraging you to refer friends or colleagues who could benefit from a similar experience, we reinforce the idea that becoming a well-rounded healthcare professional is a collective effort. 

It is a commitment to nurturing future leaders who will make meaningful contributions to their communities and beyond. Every referral is a chance to add another passionate, dedicated individual to our network, someone who will carry forward the values of empathy, resilience, and global awareness that define IMA.

For us at IMA, every referral is a story waiting to unfold. It is the story of an alumnus who believes in the power of international experience and wants to share it with others. The reward itself is modest in financial terms, but its true value lies in the recognition of your advocacy. It is a tangible reminder that your recommendation matters and that your efforts to introduce someone else to the transformative journey of global healthcare do not go unnoticed.

The referral reward is not a primary incentive but a token of appreciation. It acknowledges the time and care you invest in discussing your IMA experience with others and highlights your role in shaping the next generation of healthcare professionals. We want you to feel that your voice has a significant impact and that every conversation about IMA is a step toward building a stronger, more connected community.

When you refer someone to IMA, you create a ripple effect beyond a simple enrollment. Your referral can catalyze change in someone else’s life—a friend who never imagined working in a cross-cultural healthcare environment, a classmate eager to explore new medical frontiers, or a colleague looking for a unique way to enhance their resume. Whenever you share your IMA story, you open a door for someone else to experience the same opportunities that have changed your life.

This ripple effect is especially powerful in today’s interconnected world, where information travels fast, and personal recommendations carry immense weight. Social media platforms, in-person conversations, and professional networking events all serve as channels through which you can spread the word. 

The Referral Program formalizes this process, ensuring that every recommendation is tracked and every success is celebrated. We believe that the more people who experience IMA, the more significant the collective impact on global healthcare will be.

Staying connected with IMA through the Referral Program is also about continuous engagement with an ever-evolving community. Global health is a dynamic field, and today’s challenges and innovations may differ vastly from yesterday’s. By remaining active in our network, you are contributing to the organization’s growth and staying abreast of new developments, trends, and opportunities within the international healthcare landscape.

Engaging continuously with IMA means being part of a conversation that spans continents and disciplines. It means that even after your internship has ended, your voice continues to influence future directions in global health education. This ongoing engagement is critical, as it allows you to share insights from your professional journey, learn from the experiences of new participants, and collaborate on initiatives that push the boundaries of what is possible in healthcare.

One of the aspects we are most proud of is the simplicity and clarity of the referral process. When you refer someone, there is no complex procedure or burdensome paperwork. During the enrollment process, after a candidate has been admitted through our application, they must complete a separate Pre-Matriculation Form where they enter your name as the referral source. This clearly differentiates the application step from the referral declaration. 

This straightforward approach ensures that your contribution is recognized quickly and accurately. Once the candidate is admitted and completes all necessary steps, our team verifies the referral and processes the reward. Within 30 days of the successful enrollment, you will receive a check for $150, a gesture that encapsulates our gratitude for your commitment.

This process is designed to be transparent and efficient. Recognizing your efforts should not involve delays or uncertainties. As soon as a referral is confirmed, you can expect prompt communication from our team, along with details about the referral bonus. Our goal is to make this process as seamless as possible, so you can continue sharing your IMA experience without any administrative hurdles.

At IMA, we believe in fostering a culture of appreciation and collaboration. The Referral Program is a reflection of that culture. We understand that every alumnus has a unique story to tell—a story that can motivate others to embark on their own journeys of discovery. By sharing your experiences, you contribute to a collaborative network where everyone’s input is valued, and every success is celebrated.

Our commitment to recognizing your contributions goes beyond financial rewards. We take pride in the fact that your involvement helps create a more diverse and dynamic community of healthcare professionals. This, in turn, leads to richer learning experiences, more innovative solutions to global health challenges, and stronger professional networks that benefit all members of the IMA family.

At its heart, IMA is about more than clinical training or international travel—it is about embracing the spirit of service, compassion, and lifelong learning. We are a community that values every story, every challenge, and every success. The Referral Program is our way of saying thank you for being an essential part of this journey. It is a celebration of the bonds that tie us together and the collective impact we can have when we share our experiences with others.

As you reflect on your IMA journey, we hope you feel proud of your contributions to global healthcare. We invite you to continue that legacy by participating in the Referral Program and helping to spread the word about the transformative opportunities available at IMA.

The IMA Referral Program is designed to honor your contributions, reward your passion for global healthcare, and empower you to help shape the future of this field. By referring future interns, you are crucial in ensuring that IMA remains a beacon of excellence in global health education.
