USF Health Student Chapter of PSR
The University of South Florida Health Student chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility was founded in 2009. As the first and only student chapter in Florida, we strive to bring to the forefront issues of environment and health, social justice, and nuclear war. Through education, advocacy, and action, we have made an impact on the local community. In addition, USF Health SPSR hopes to be visible on more than just the local level by participating in national SPSR events as well.
If you are a USF Health Student and you'd like to get involved with SPSR, please email the president. You can also join national SPSR for free by visiting www.psr.org.
