Overview

Mission

To improve the capacity of panel physicians and healthcare workers who conduct immigration medical evaluations worldwide through professional affiliation, training and education.

What it reported doing in 2024

Ippa is a professional network that provides panel physicians and migrant health experts with opportunities to collaborate and share expertise, resources and information; advances knowledge about trends in migration and immigrant and refugee health; standardizes best practices for immigration medical examinations, upholds orderly immigration and public health; and promotes and advances the health of globally mobile populations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 76% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
