Direct peers

• International Council of Nurses (ICN): ICN is a federation of more than 130 national nurses associations that operates as an international forum for the nursing profession. It is directly comparable to IAMRA as an international membership body facilitating cross-border collaboration among health profession regulators and associations.
• World Federation for Medical Education (WFME): WFME is an international organization that sets global standards for medical education and accredits accrediting agencies. It is a direct peer of IAMRA—already a Partner member—and both organizations focus on global medical workforce quality through complementary lenses (education accreditation vs. practitioner regulation).
• Association of Medical Councils of Africa (AMCOA): AMCOA is the regional association of African medical regulatory authorities and an IAMRA partner. It is a direct regional peer hosting joint workshops (Accra 2026) and serves a comparable convening and information-sharing role for medical regulators across Africa.
• World Medical Association (WMA): WMA is an international confederation of national medical associations representing physicians globally. It is directly comparable to IAMRA as an international forum convening medical stakeholders across borders, though focused on physician professional ethics and advocacy rather than regulation.
• International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP): FIP is the global federation of national pharmaceutical associations and pharmacist regulators. It is a direct peer in the broader international health profession regulation space, convening regulators and pharmacy bodies across countries with comparable structure and mission to IAMRA.
• Federation of State Medical Boards of the United States (FSMB): FSMB is IAMRA's founding supporting organization and Secretariat host. It is a direct peer as a national federation of medical regulatory authorities (US state boards), providing IAMRA with operational infrastructure and serving as the convener of the original 1994 International Conference on Medical Regulation.
• General Medical Council (GMC) UK: GMC is the UK medical regulatory authority and an active IAMRA member serving on committees and working groups. It is a direct peer as a national medical regulator actively engaged in cross-border regulatory collaboration, contributing to PIE and AI research partnerships.

Others

It is thematically related as the convener of global health workforce policy and the source of practitioner regulation frameworks, though it is not a peer membership organization.
