The International Health Interest Group (IHIG) serves to educate medical students about global health issues and provide opportunities for students to share their experiences.

We do this by:

- hosting speakers from different specialties with experience and knowledge in the practice of medicine abroad

- screening documentaries

- hosting Global Health Awareness Week in collaboration with the USC School of Medicine and Public Health

- publishing a yearly student journal called The Prophlyaxis to allow students to share research, ideas and experiences

IHIG talks allow students to gain a broader understanding of medicine and thus, a more complete medical education. The group also provides information and encouragement to those seeking to gain or expand on preexisting international experience. All medical students are encouraged to join.
