Biomedical Science Careers Symposium (BSC), Boston, MA
March 31, 2012
Conference Overview:
This is a wonderful opportunity for African American, Latino, and other minority students interested in the biomedical sciences. It ranges from middle school to post-doc and provides great mentorship at all stages. This effort is lead by Joan Reede, Dean for Diversity and Community Partnership at Harvard Medical School. In 2010, there were nearly 1,000 minority students with Dr. Robert Satcher (MD, PhD and NASA astronaut) and Dr. Francis Collins, MD, PhD (NICHD Director), as guest speakers.
Who should attend? This conference is designed for postdoctoral fellows; medical, dental and graduate students; college and community college students; post-baccalaureates; and high school seniors and juniors.
Conference Objectives:There are two objectives of the Biomedical Science Careers Student Conference. The primary objective is to provide over 800 African-American, Hispanic/Latino and American Indian/Alaska Native students with an opportunity to network with advisors/role models from the basic and clinical sciences, medicine, public health, academic administration and the private sector.
The second objective is to enable student participants to meet, inspire and network with one another. Student participants should be seriously interested in or currently studying in biomedical, biotechnology and science-related fields, such as medicine, chemistry, physics, biology, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, physical therapy, public health, allied health or environmental science.
