We are here so incoming and current health students and staff have Islamic support. Please consider us YOUR organization. We are here to help you with your questions about Islam or Muslim life on the USC Health Sciences Campus.

During the past, HSC Muslims joined the Main Campus Muslim Student Union (MSU) and its activities. As of September 2008, the health professional students officially formed their own organization to better and more widely assist the Muslims and Non-Muslims at HSC.
