Mission Statement:The Hippocratic Society is an undergraduate organization which seeks to expand the horizons of those sectors of society which have an interest in medicine by addressing related issues in social, political, legal, and ethical fields. With this focus, we hope to explore the relationship between medicine and a range of other disciplines, from law and public policy to anthropology. We offer our audience an opportunity to broaden their perspectives by actively considering imminent issues in medicine. In collaboration with the Harvard Hippocratic Society, we realize our objectives by organizing formal conferences and symposia, as well as by hosting informal small-group discussions, both of which provide dynamic forums for participation, discussion, and learning. Additionally, we produce a biannual Journal of the Hippocratic Society, a multidisciplinary publication that likewise highlights the inter-dependence of medicine and other fields. Thus, we seek to raise awareness of key issues that are becoming increasingly consequential to society.
