The Southeastern Medical Scientist Symposium (SEMSS) is a multi-institutional regional meeting that brings together aspiring physician scientists from schools around the United States. This event is primarily organized and attended by undergraduate students, MD, and MD-PhD students with many opportunities to network and present. We feature outstanding plenary and keynote speakers, representing the best and newest ideas in fundamental, clinical, and translational science. We are proud of 10 years of fostering a collaborative and interdisciplinary educational environment for those considering a physician scientist pathway within the region.
