International Healthcare Opportunities Clearinghouse (IHOC)
The International Healthcare Opportunities Clearinghouse (IHOC) web site is designed for healthcare professionals and students who are interested in volunteer work with underserved communities at home or abroad.

IHOC is an ongoing project maintained by the Lamar Soutter Medical Library, UMass Chan Medical School.
Students at UMass Chan Medical School should contact the International Medical Education Program for current opportunities in the Global Health Pathway (GHP).
