Our Objectives
The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War — what we do and how we work to abolish nuclear weapons.
International Medical Organization
Empower students to lead grassroots education and outreach on gun violence, conflict resolution, and environmental health, aiding in fostering safer, more informed, and resilient communities.
Global Advocacy Network
Equip students with leadership, advocacy, and global health diplomacy skills, broadening their understanding of the physician's role beyond clinical care - to addressing the root causes of suffering, such as war, nuclear conflict, and environmental imbalance that accelerate disease spread.
What we do
