International Programs

1. Indian Medical Students International Chapter (IMSIC)

From classrooms to global change — one student at a time.

The Indian Medical Students International Chapter (IMSIC) is a flagship program designed to connect medical, nursing, and pharmacy students worldwide with real, on-ground opportunities in cancer care, awareness, and research.

Through IMSIC, students can join as international volunteers, gain globally recognized certificates, and participate in data-driven community programs organized by our Karkinium team across India.

Members will learn directly from Karkinium’s field experience — from patient counseling to awareness campaigns, fundraising management, and cancer data research. This practical exposure, supported by our hospital and research partnerships, helps students build both academic and humanitarian excellence.
