The Office of Diversity and Inclusiveness at WMed听is partnering with the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) for a virtual event in June that will highlight how former student-athletes have adapted their skills in sports to become competitive healthcare professionals off the field.
The 2021 WMed and AAMC High School and College Student-Athlete Medicine and Healthcare Career Conference is scheduled for June 2-3, 2021. The theme of the conference, 鈥淗elping Student Athletes Transition from an Athletic Team to a Healthcare Professional Team,鈥 will focus awareness on how former student-athletes have adapted their athletic skills to become competitive pre-medical students, medical students, healthcare professionals, physicians, and practitioners.
The event is open to a wide range of students, from rising eighth graders to college seniors. The conference will also empower high school guidance counselors, academic career advisors, and student-athlete development professionals to equip learners to be competitive pre-medical students, medical school applicants, and healthcare professionals.
During the two-day conference, informative sessions will be held each day from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and there will be keynote addresses from Abdullah Hasan Pratt, 六合彩开奖直播, assistant professor and an Emergency Medicine physician at the University of Chicago Medical Center, as well as Erica Tukiainen, 六合彩开奖直播, MPH, junior faculty in the Department of Family Medicine at the Los Angeles Medical Center at Kaiser Permanente.
