MEDS is a one-day conference for pre-med and pre-health students at UC San Diego and neighboring community college students organized by the MEDS student committee from Health & Medical Professions Preparation Program (HMP3 hmp3.ucsd.edu) in collaboration with the Undergraduate Research Hub (ugresearch.ucsd.edu) and Healthbeat.

MEDS stands for "Medical Education for Diverse Students," and is specifically designed to close the disparities seen in both medical education and health care.  The health care system needs professionals from diverse backgrounds, who can identify with an even more diverse group of patients. There will be workshops on all components of the application process — testing, writing personal statements, interviews, and more. In addition, conference attendees are invited to participate in hands-on workshops in the brand-new patient simulation labs.

The conference will take place on Saturday, February 25th at the Medical Education and Telemedicine Building. More information can be found at meds.ucsd.edu.

DISCLAIMER:The MEDS Team is hopeful to move forward with this in-person conference to enhance participants' experience. However, we may have to switch to a virtual modality depending on the COVID-19 situation, public health, and UC San Diego regulations as we approach the conference's date. Our team will notify you if we are required to switch modalities.
