International Conference Recognition Program

The International Conference Recognition (ICR) program started in 1990 by the American Medical Association (AMA) House of Delegates. The AMA recognized that international congresses presented opportunities for physicians to participate in quality educational programs and collaborate with colleagues. The ICR program recognizes a handful of events each year and provides physicians with an opportunity to earn AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ at these approved events.

If you represent an international organization hosting a medical education event and have an interest in applying for program approval, please contact:
