IMI International Conferences

IMI’s Academic Council oversees the development of the academic program for all IMI International Conferences and serves as a global academic resource for national and regional conferences. We are pleased to announce that IMI’s 12th International Conference will be held in the historic city of Karbala, Iraq, from December 25–27, 2025, with pre-conference workshops on December 24, 2025. Supported by our IMI Iraq Chapter and local partners, the conference will bring together scholars, healthcare professionals, and global delegates for an engaging academic program covering all aspects of medicine and allied specialties, including dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, and more. Continuing education credits will be available for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and dentists, alongside special sessions for the Women’s Wing, Technology Innovations, young professionals, and students.

Karbala, home to the holy shrines of Imam Hussain (ع) and Hazrat Abbas (ع), offers participants a deeply spiritual and cultural setting to reflect, connect, and grow. Delegates will also have the opportunity to visit nearby cities of great significance—Najaf, Babylon, Samarra, and Kadhimayn—each carrying profound historical, cultural, and spiritual depth. This unique combination of academic excellence and cultural immersion makes the 12th IMI International Conference in Iraq a meaningful and memorable experience for all.
