The price of conference attendance: Opportunities to improve access for medical students

Medical conferences are valuable forums for medical students to explore specialties of interest and form professional connections. More than 120 medical specialty societies comprise the American Medical Association (AMA) Federation of Medicine and host annual meetings, providing a venue for discourse, networking, and the exchange of knowledge. For medical students without a home residency program in their specialty of interest, annual meetings provide one avenue for establishing mentorship relationships ahead of residency applications.
