The September 9-10th virtual conference is FREE and geared toward pre-medical students who are historically underrepresented in medicine (e.g. Black, Hispanic/Latinx, American Indian, Alaska and Hawaiian Natives, Pacific Islanders), LGBTQ+, and/or first-generation low-income high school through post-baccalaureate students. The conference will feature panels and talks from current Harvard Medical School students, faculty, staff, and alumni. The aim is to diversify the next generation of physicians and physician-scientists and enhance, equip, educate, and empower the future of medicine. A flyer is attached, if you are interested in sharing with your network. As attendance is limited, interested pre-medical attendees must submit a pre-registration application here by September 7th.

About the Empower Conference:
The Empower Conference was founded in 2020. The inaugural conference on April 24, 2021 had 680+ pre-medical students in attendance and 97 HMS faculty, staff, students, and alumni serving as speakers, moderators, mock interviewers, and personal statement reviewers. Thanks to the many faculty, students, and alumni we were able to conduct over the course of the day 50 personal statements and mock interviews. With the support of donors, we were able to provide 33 participants with financial need with MCAT courses, book sets, practice tests, or UWorld 90-day question banks. Some of the 2021 attendees are first and second-year medical students here at Harvard Medical School.
The team recently held a mini conference this past April focusing on the medical school application process for students applying to medical school this summer.
