There will be a lot of opportunity for Exhibitors to meet potential students. Residency and Graduate programs will have a large pool of potential student candidates as well. More importantly, you will be a resource for our future Heroes in Healthcare as you share with them how your organization, academic center, pre-professional or professional program can assist students on their journey.

It is our fervent belief that through our pre-clinical, academic, research and mentoring pipeline programs, we will close the healthcare and death gaps that selectively impact vulnerable communities and those underrepresented in medicine resulting in poor and even devastating healthcare outcomes. Our goal is to diversify the fields of research and medicine with exceptional talent by preparing underrepresented youth to serve their communities with passion, purpose and excellence.
