Alumni and Friends of LSTM Your story doesn’t end at graduation

A global community

Proud of where you studied. Still part of where it’s going.

Our alumni come from all over the world to study at LSTM before going on to make a tangible impact in global health and humanitarian settings. Wherever your career takes you, and whatever stage you are at, you will always be a valued part of the LSTM family.

Pride in LSTM has never been in doubt. What we’re building now is the other half,  the everyday connections that keep a global network of health professionals learning from, and leaning on, one another.

We are actively planning to launch more regional chapters in the near future to help you network, collaborate, and support one another closer to home.
