Global Youth Summit on the Future of Medicine
Tumblr media
Brandeis University proudly convenes the annual Global Youth Summit on the Future of Medicine from June 24–June 30, 2018.  Castilleja has the opportunity to nominate a small group of students to represent us at the 2018 Summit. (Students may also apply directly to the program.)
Last year, delegates visited Boston's top medical schools, research institutes, and hospitals and were able to interact with some of the most accomplished leaders in the field of medicine. At the culminating Summit symposium, delegates offered formal presentations of proposed solutions to medical problems before a panel of experts, an event you would be more likely to find among opportunities afforded to doctoral candidates.
Please contact Ms. McColgan by January 22 if you are interested in being nominated. (Regular applications are due in April.)
