Empower: A Symposium on Underrepresented Voices in Medicine is geared towards pre-medical students applying to medical school in the upcoming 2023-2024 cycle who are historically underrepresented in medicine (e.g. Black, Hispanic/Latinx, American Indian, Alaskan and Hawaiian Natives), LGBTQ+, and/or first-generation low-income. The virtual conference is free to attendees and will be occurring virtually on Saturday, April 22th from 11:00 AM - 6:30 PM ET. We aim to diversify the next generation of physicians and physician-scientists and enhance, equip, educate, and empower the future of medicine.
The conference will feature panels and discussions with current Harvard Medical School students, alumni, and affiliated physicians of similar identities. Topics include, but are not limited to: The MCAT, Crafting the Personal Statement and Secondaries, Keeping it Real with HMS Students and much more! As registration is limited, individuals interested in attending the conference must pre-register using the link below.
Please note we will also be having a Fall conference (in September 2023) geared toward pre-medical high school through post-baccalaureate students that will be applying to medical school in Summer 2024 or later. All students can use the same link below to submit a pre-registration application.
We were hoping you could share our conference with your students and disseminate it to other pre-medical advisors/academic advisors who work with pre-medical students within your network as well, so that we can reach as many students who could benefit from this conference as possible. Students can pre-register for our conference using the link below. Our conference flyer is also attached.
