21st annual International Street Medicine Symposium

The 21st annual International Street Medicine Symposium will be held September 9 – 12, 2025 in Hilo, Hawai‘i. We are grateful to our local co-host HOPE Services Hawai‘i for helping to organize this symposium. 

The International Street Medicine Symposium (ISMS) is the world’s premier educational event dedicated to the health care of rough-sleeper and unsheltered homeless populations. Each year, ISMS offers an impressive slate of homeless health care experts from around the globe presenting clinical topics, innovations, research outcomes, and best practices relevant to street medicine through the popular format mix of large-group lectures, interactive small-group presentations and workshops, and poster presentations. All people working in the area of health and homelessness are invited, and we encourage and celebrate the diversity of lived expertise and professional roles represented among participants.

The symposium will be held at the Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo on September 10 – 12, 2025, with an optional pre-symposium Street Medicine 101 workshop Tuesday, September 9.
