ICHS Corporate Membership

ICHS Corporate Members join the efforts of the general membership to promote all aspects of management of the immunocompromised patient.

The ICHS aims for long-term relations with its Corporate Members in order to meet its vision to:  advance the understanding of the interactions between host defenses and microbial agents in order to improve prevention and management of human disease in patients with compromised immune function

Recent initiatives within the society have included:

• ICHS consultancy panels (advisory boards)
• ICHS Learning Initiatives.  The first of these, the Mycology Initiative, was launched in 2001; module 3 was recently completed and is now available to members.  Modules 1 and 2 are available to anyone interested
