ISHN is a student group at Harvard Medical School which aims to address the interfaces between science and development, basic research and medicine.  Our goal is to build bridges between students, post-docs, faculty and staff members in the basic science, medicine and public health communities within Harvard, and with their counterparts abroad.  We also are actively working to decrease the disparities between our experiences of science and health care and those of people in developing countries.  

Upcoming Events:

For a weekly update of these events and others at Harvard and around Boston
subscribe to our mailing list: email us at ishn@hcs.harvard.edu


We have compiled a list of courses at Harvard University covering topics in health, policy, law and education with a focus on international issues.
