CIAO

In 1996, one student from the College of Medicine, Class of 2000, at the University of Tennessee, Memphis founded a day on which all medical students would join to perform community service in Memphis. The following year, two students from the same class took a trip to Kazakhstan with a Memphis surgeon to operate on kids; they returned - moved and determined - to provide others with similar opportunities. Together, these and others from the Medical Student Executive Council sensed the growing need to organize public service on-campus. CIAO - the Council for International & Area Outreach was founded in 1998 as a culmination of their collective efforts.
