IAOMC : It is a non-stock, not for profit association.

The IAOMC is committed to peer evaluation of the education provided by individual medical schools anywhere in the world. It is a non-stock, not for profit association. It's goal is to serve society and those with an interest in the evaluation of the quality of undergraduate medical education to enhance medical education/practice. The standards and process will be transparent and the evaluation results available to the public to inspire confidence in integrity of the process and findings. The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (ECOSOC) granted the IAOMC Special Consultive status as a Non Government Organization (NGO).

The United States Department of Education was served with a Freedom Of Information form requesting documents to be inserted in the data bank. While many had been provided, many were not. A Department appeal was taken. Additional documents were received but again, many were missing. A lawsuit was brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Again, more documents were produced. The court has reached a thirty four page decision. To comply with that decision the Department has provided an additional 1,857 pages on 13 countries.

As it is believed there are additional records that should be produced an appeal has been taken to a higher court.
