ICMT is a non-profit and non-taxable foundation in Houston, Texas to facilitate the worldwide advancement of medical technologies by disseminating information and education. Among many activities, ICMT also has a museum exhibit program that displays the historical accomplishments of medical technologies: past, present and future. Currently ICMT exhibits state-of-the-art and historical artificial organ hardware, which were inherited from the International Center for Artificial Organs and Transplantation (ICAOT) who began collecting in Cleveland, Ohio over 20 years ago. (See separate ICAOT entry in this Guide for more information.)
ICMT's exhibits and publications are intended to educate physicians, scientists, patients and the general public about the accomplishments in the field of artificial organ development and transplantation. At the same time, they serve as an inspiration for future physicians and health care professionals to develop careers in medicine and bioengineering.
