Starting a Student Chapter:
Initiating a student chapter at an accredited college or university is free. Use the following resources to start a chapter at your school. Typically, a student chapter is composed of an elected leadership of students, a faculty advisor, and students enrolled in multidisciplinary programs related to health services research and/or health policy. Each student chapter is expected to establish and uphold bylaws and activities for the academic year. Contact the membership team with any questions, or call 202-292-6700.
