Over 500 pre medical students and over 40 exhibitors representing various medical schools from around the country attended the 26th annual Stanford University Minority Medical Alliance Conference (SUMMA) on Saturday February 11, 2017.  Various workshops were offered to pre medical students considering careers in medicine and health care professions.  In addition, inspirational presentations were given by Stanford medical students titled "Faces of Our Community".

Current Stanford medical students volunteer to share their personal stories about their pathway to medicine. Our hope is that others can identify with some part of each story and find the inspiration to go forward on their own path.

The SUMMA 2018 Conference will be taking place early next February 2018.  Register early as the conference sells out every year.  Learn more about the  2018 SUMMA conference.
