support for students to attend conferences

  • 1.  support for students to attend conferences

    Posted 03-30-2022 11:39:00 AM
    Colleagues & friends,

      We're exploring options for supporting medical students' attendance at regional or national conferences.  With step 1 going pass/fail, our students are increasingly looking to present as a way to optimally position themselves in the Match.  Conference registration fees, travel costs, hotel registration and so forth add up!  How does your institution provide financial support for students to attend conferences?   Financial aid? stipend? grant? application process? scholarship? not at all? something else?  Reply all or feel free to respond to me directly at jprunuske@mcw.edu

    Best,

    Jake
