Schools that have a health law program (or that have a group of students interested in health law and healthcare issues) may want to consider forming an alliance with the American Health Lawyers Association. Schools that sign an alliance agreement with AHLA receive benefits, as do the student members who join the Association. View a list of our current alliances with student health law groups.
