ABOUT US
Atlanta Interprofessional Student Hotspotting (AISH) is a multi-institutional, interdisciplinary service learning program that provides graduate students across various medical and health professions the opportunity to engage directly with high-need, high-cost (HNHC) medical patients. Nationwide, HNHC patients make up only 5% of the patient population, but account for 50% of healthcare costs. In Atlanta, Student Hotspotters aid in addressing socioeconomic and environmental determinants of health for HNHC patients within Grady Health System (Grady), the city’s largest safety-net healthcare system. Our goal is to advance interprofessional education among health professionals while simultaneously improving patient care and outcomes for both patients and Grady.
​
AISH combines students from more than eight academic disciplines from five Atlanta-area institutions, providing unparalleled opportunities to train the next generation of interprofessional leaders.
