International Healthcare Opportunities Clearinghouse
The International Healthcare Opportunities Clearinghouse (IHOC) web site is designed for health-care professionals and students who are interested in volunteer work with underserved communities at home or abroad. The IHOC website was begun in 1996 by a small group of faculty members and students from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, Massachusetts.IHOC is an ongoing project maintained by the Lamar Soutter Medical Library, University of Massachusetts Medical School.
NOTE: The Lamar Soutter Library is involved in a collaborative pilot project with the World Health Organization's Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative (HINARI). HINARI provides free or low cost online access to major journals in biomedical and related social sciences to local, non-profit organizations in developing countries.
Currently, HINARI-trained students and physicians who travel to developing nations are training clinicians and health care workers in these nations with this valuable information.
