MSPA Conference
Join us on April 9 -10th, 2022 as we host our Inaugural MSPA Conference. Come learn what medical students are doing for research projects, take part in workshops to learn about getting into medical school or applying to residency, get some leadership development and learn more on how to do advocacy work while being in medical school. This event will be held virtually and at no cost to pre-medical and medical students. To our knowledge this is one of the first events that is geared toward exclusively supporting LGBTQIA+ pre-medical and medical students.
Saturday, April 9th (Research Symposium and Social)
Sunday, April 10th (Mentorship, Advocacy, Leadership Workshops, Admissions Exhibition)
MSPA is a 100% student run organization composed of dedicated volunteers who share their time to organize this event and others like it. Recognizing the financial barriers present throughout Medical Education, we have not charged a price to attend the conference. However, If you are not a pre-medical or medical student or an MSPA member we ask that you consider donating a $5-10 donation to MSPA to support our mission. You can do so by following the link below. In the Donation Event section, please select "MSPA Conference 2022 Attendee"
Registration NOW OPEN!
INFORMATION FOR EXHIBITORS
Medical School Admissions and Residency Programs are invited to be present for an Exhibition Fair on Sunday, April 10th, 2022 during which they will have time and virtual space to connect with our members and conference attendees. While specific time has yet to be determined, this portion of the event will likely take place in the late afternoon (ET). The Exhibition Fair will take place in the format of individual virtual drop in spaces for each exhibitor.
Recognizing the multiple financial barriers that students and trainees encounter throughout the Medical Education pathway we have not charged a fee for students to attend this inaugural conference. Recognizing that this is a new event and many programs have already finalized their budgets for this fiscal year, a donation is not required to participate in the Exhibition Fair. However, for those who can afford it, we ask exhibitors for suggested donations to MSPA between $100-200 in order to help make this conference as successful as possible and to help support our mission.
Please feel free to share the MSPA Conference attendee registration link with pre-medical and medical students in your network.
