Mission

SIDEO is a student-run platform dedicated to education and public awareness around immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), with a focus on meaningful engagement with diverse communities and underserved populations.

IMIDs are complex, chronic conditions that often affect multiple organ systems. Despite their prevalence, IMIDs are frequently misunderstood, which can delay their recognition and contribute to healthcare disparities, especially among vulnerable groups.

SIDEO's mission is to translate IMID-related medical knowledge into accessible information, while actively engaging with communities through outreach initiatives, awareness efforts, and advocacy-oriented work.
