About the ISPOR Student Network
All ISPOR members who are students belong to the Student Network—an engaged collection of PhD, masters, PharmD, and other HEOR-related disciplines. With 1000+ individual members and 2000 chapter members from around the world, the Student Network
represents more than 70 countries.
The Network's students are united by similar interests and passion for excellence in research. Most student members belong to a local chapter based at, or near, their university. Currently there are more
than 140 ISPOR Student Chapters representing 30+ countries.
The ISPOR Student Network also provides for leadership opportunities in the form of volunteer roles: student network chair, 4 student committees, 3 regional leads, and the student
internship/fellowship subcommittee of the Faculty Advisor Council's Professional Development Focus Group.

ISPOR, through the Faculty Advisor Council’s Fellowship Focus Group, produced the Internship and Fellowship Directory as an exclusive student member benefit. Since its launch, the document has been revised through efforts of student researchers. The file is sorted alphabetically and features internships, fellowships, and co-ops from around the globe. Fellowships are updated yearly in September and internships are updated each January.
