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

Students participating in the program benefit from free housing and/or meals, mentor relationships, and local insight into the medical community from IUSM Alumni. This program has been immensely successful because of the generosity of alumni across the country and has helped save students thousands of dollars in educationally related travel expenses over the last five years.
