The Institute on Medicine as a Profession (IMAP) was an American non-profit health care policy think tank housed at Columbia University in New York City.

IMAP grew from the Open Society Institute’s Medicine as a Profession initiative, which ran from 1999-2004.

[2] In 2003, the Open Society Institute gave a grant of $7.5 million [3] to establish the Institute on Medicine as Profession as an independent entity, to be chaired by David J. Rothman, professor at Columbia University, and housed at Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Other areas included conflicts of interest in the health care industry; the role of physicians in national security interrogations; marketing practices in the drug, alcohol, food and tobacco industries; and health information technology.
