Why attend the global youth summit?
"The next generation of doctors will practice in an environment hard to even imagine just a few years ago. Cutting-edge science is rapidly changing the very nature of health care and medicine. Soon it will be routine to order the complete map of each patient’s genome, and the staggering potential of truly personalized medical treatments for even routine illnesses will be in our hands."
— Steven Goldstein, M.A., M.D., Ph.D., FAAP, Chairman, Global Youth Summit on Medicine Advisory Board; Provost, Brandeis University; Former Chair of Pediatrics and Physician-in-Chief at Comer Children's Hospital, University of Chicago
We are in the midst of the most significant and fundamental change in health care delivery in our lifetime. Young people who may eventually consider a career in medicine need to understand the changing nature of health care delivery and its impact on attending medical school, choosing a career and developing the skills they will need to be future leaders in the field.
The Global Youth Summit on the Future of Medicine’s intensive nine-day program is tailored to outstanding high school students who are already interested in pursuing careers in health care.
Delegates can expect to gain a unique, behind-the-scenes insight into the dynamic world of health care through experiential learning, guest lectures and networking opportunities with the leaders and innovators in the global medical community in order to build upon their already significant abilities and chart their path to becoming a leader in medicine.
