Student Health Law Organization
The Student Health Law Organization is an organization of students interested in health law and policy. SHLO, as it is affectionately known, has a series of events that it holds annually, such as a “Meet the Professors” meeting and a “What is Health Law?” panel of health law practitioners. It also sponsors innovative health law activities such as tours of the University of Maryland Hospital System’s Shock Trauma center, a forum on health care reform, brown bags lunches with experts in various health law-related fields, and service activities at local community organizations.

Maryland Health Law Attorney-Student Mentor Program: The Maryland State Bar Association's Health Law Section and SHLO have partnered to bring health law students the attorney-student mentor program. If you are interested in being matched to a practicing health lawyer, please email Hannah Levinson, SHLO Vice President, at hlevinson@umaryland.edu. Please include your name, law school year, health law-related experience, health law interests, and a brief note about how you will take advantage of being a mentee.
