• To encourage promotion of international medical relief programs to areas that require humanitarian assistance due to natural calamities, disasters and epidemic diseases through special voluntary contributions by Fellows of the College, the public at large and affiliated associates. 
  

The college provides representation on national and local levels helping to ensure that International Medical Graduates (IMGs) are provided the same rights and opportunities in their profession as afforded to U.S. medical graduates.

ACIP provides access to a national network of IMGs who can provide assistance in solving local practice problems such as initiation of legislative efforts, class-action litigation and case-specific advocasy with hospitals, licensing bodies, federal, state, and municipal agencies.

ACIP provides opportunities to serve on national policy making bodies, which protect the interests of international medical graduates.

ACIP conducts local, state, and national meetings which provide an excellent opportunity for networking with specialists from all areas of medicine and, thus, enhances individual practices by stimulating referrals. ACIP provides continuing medical education credits at the meetings also.
