Yes. HMP3 has generously donated funds to provide a limited number of scholarships for the MEDS conference. You must pay when you register, then if you are chosen for a scholarship you will be refunded $20 on the day of the conference.

If you have already been to MEDS as a lower classman (first or second year), then it will be beneficial to attend MEDS again as an upperclassman (third year and beyond), when you are closer to applying.
Arrive on Saturday by 9:00 a.m. for SAME-DAY REGISTRATION. We always have a certain percentage of no-shows. Bring your $20.00 and you are guaranteed to get in!
Due to limited space, we cannot allow students to switch workshops the day of the conference.
We would like for you to dress to impress -you are a future pharmacist or doctor, and will be interacting with professionals in your field, so please: no shorts/short skirts, T-shirts, ripped jeans or baseball caps. Due to the hands-on activities in the medical school labs, all attendees must wear closed-toed shoes.
Dress business casual: comfortable shoes, button down shirts or blouse, clean jeans/slacks or skirt. We also recommend bringing a jacket or sweater, as the Telemedicine building has an exposed courtyard which can be chilly in January.
Nothing, other than questions! We will provide breakfast and lunch, as well as note-taking materials. ***Bags and backpacks (other than the MEDS SWAG bag you will receive) are not allowed in the Simulation Labs and should be left in your car.
Remember, the speakers at MEDS have taken time out of their Saturday to give you insight to their career. Please—don’t be shy! They want to talk with you.
