Latino Medical Conference at Stanford Latino Medical Conference at Stanford on April 8-9 It is with great pleasure that we invite Cal students to participate in the 22nd Annual Latino Medical Student Association (LMSA) Regional Conference hosted by the LMSA chapter at Stanford University School of Medicine. LMSA is a network of students, alumni, and health professionals whose mission is to promote the development of disadvantaged students through education, volunteerism, and professional networking opportunities that foster diversity, higher education, and the improved health of underserved communities. Our annual regional conference enables the twelve LMSA chapters to convene and assemble experts in a wide range of disciplines from around the country to conduct seminars on Latino issues and skills development for high school, undergraduate, and medical students, and a variety of healthcare professionals. The theme of this year=EDs conference is =ECCreating Leadership: Striving to Improve Latino Healthcare=EE, and it will be held on the Stanford University campus from April 7-8, 2006. The first day will be targeted to high school and pre-health audience and will provide various workshops and seminars for these students, such as: applying to medical school, successful interviewing, personal statement writing, health care careers panels, and MCAT strategies, just to name a few. Representative from numerous undergraduate and medical institutions will attend the college and medical school exhibition where they will showcase their schools and speak with students. The second day of the conference will focus on critical issues in health care, community health, career development, and health policy. Some of the seminars will address medical career planning, residency and training programs, community health issues, health care access proposals, and much more. We will also hold a student research poster symposium to allow attendees at all levels to showcase their work in basic science, clinical science, or public health related research projects. Many institutions offer funding to their students or affiliates to travel to conferences to present their work. You may want to inquire about such opportunities offered by your institution. Furthermore, we will be hosting a residency fair featuring primary care and specialty residency training programs from around the country. In addition to the two-day conference, we will also host a banquet at the Crowne Plaza Cabana Palo Alto on the night of Saturday, April 8th. Among the distinguished speakers invited to the conference and banquet is the United States Surgeon General, Dr. Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.S.
