National Hispanic Medical Association Virtual Conference - April 16

National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) College Health Scholars Program has had to cancel its San Antonio and Washington, DC Pre-Health Conferences.  However, we believe that this should not impede upon our goal and mission to increase the number of Hispanics and underrepresented students in medical, dental, pharmacy, graduate nursing, graduate public health, and graduate science research schools.  This is why we've moved our pre-health conference to a webinar.  

The webinar will be on April 16, 2020, from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM Eastern Time.  Students can hop on and off just like a pre-health conference.  We will be talking about admissions, financial aid, and will also feature current graduate students who can answer questions from undergrads.

The registration link is bit.ly/VirtualNHMACHSP and is updated constantly with speakers. Questions? Contact chsp@nhmamd.org
