HOST – or Helping Our Students Travel – is designed to help medical students save money and create IU Alumni connections during students travel for educationally related programs.  

Students and alumni have benefitted in the past from:

  • Free housing and/or meals in either alumni’s residence or local accommodations
  • Local insight on the medical community from IUSM Alumni
  • Mentor and networking relationships with physicians in their field
  • Connection with their IUSM Alma Mater

Let the Office of Alumni Relations connect students and alumni to enhance the IUSM educational programs through HOST!
