| The International Health Organization (IHO), a medical student-run organization at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, was conceived to increase student interest in international health |
|
and to improve access to information on international electives. IHO organizes periodic lectures on topics in global medicine and hosts a fall slide show by second year students who spent their summers abroad and a spring slide show by fourth year students who are returning from international electives. In addition, the IHO is affiliated with the New York Presbyterian branch of REMEDY, another student-run organization which recovers equipment and supplies destined for the hospital garbage which are tremendously useful in other countries.
