>ImproveHeatlhCare.org is an international health care policy student 
>organization started at Harvard Medical School and with chapters at 
>other medical schools across the country. We are supported with 
>funding from the Commonwealth Fund.  Our goal is to improve health 
>policy education for premedical and medical students, residents, 
>physicians, and others in the health care community.  We approach 
>education at the medical school level using a small group case 
>discussion format to discuss salient issues in health care access, 
>disparities, and quality in medicine today.  You can find examples 
>of some of our cases on our website,
