Student travel is essential for a medical student’s professional growth. Attending conferences allows them to learn about the latest medical advancements, present their research, and network with top professionals. These experiences help students explore career opportunities, bring back valuable insights, and advocate for important issues in medical education and health care. Each year, our students attend over 100 national and international conferences.
