CSIH Membership Provides You With a Broad Network

Interested in the important role health plays in society's development ? Then consider membership in CSIH. We link individuals and organizations from all health sectors, help develop professional skills at home and abroad, advocate for health policy development, and promote awareness of health issues.

Membership Categories

Membership in CSIH is voluntary and open to all disciplines. CSIH members include medical doctors, nurses, epidemiologists, health economists, policy planners, political and social scientists and specialists representing a broad range of health-related professions. Membership is available to individuals anywhere in the world working in, or interested in, international health and the objectives of CSIH. CSIH encourages membership from those in other countries.

CSIH categories of membership are:

Regular: Individuals from the above disciplines and medical residents.

Student/Retired/Non-Wage Earner: Individuals who are currently enrolled in post-secondary educational programs from the above disciplines or those who have retired from positions and are no longer earning a wage.
Organizational: Organizations who have a commitment to international health may designate two persons as representatives. These individuals will be extended all the privileges of regular membership. The organization itself, however, cannot hold office in CSIH.
Supporter and Benefactor: Individuals who wish to make a more substantial contribution to the work of the Society. Members at these levels will receive the same services as regular and organizational members. (See membership application for amounts.)
