Minority training explored in SUMMA conference

 

The Stanford University Minority Medical Alliance, or SUMMA, will hold its 13th annual pre-medical conference at the School of Medicine on Saturday.

The daylong event is traditionally the West Coast’s largest gathering of underrepresented minority pre-medical students and others interested in pursuing a career in medicine or related health-care fields.

The conference will feature numerous speakers along with a wide range of workshops designed to assist prospective students with everything from filling out medical school applications, becoming better candidates, preparing for MCATS and other tests, investigating research opportunities and much more.

Talks and workshops will take place at various locations throughout the medical school, but breakfast and registration check-in will begin at 7 a.m. in the Clark Center courtyard.

Registration has reached capacity and is closed for college and high school participants, but advisors and recruiters are still welcome to register. No walk-ins will be accepted. To register, contact Eddie Lares at elares@stanford.edu before Saturday.
