Discussion Sessions
Discussion Sessions are student-led presentations and conversations focused on healthcare topics students are passionate about. These sessions provide a leadership platform for undergraduates and a chance to share knowledge and ideas with an engaged audience.
How It Works
-
A discussion leader facilitates a group of students to explore a specific topic.
-
Groups meet over a certain time to research, collaborate, and prepare a presentation.
-
Sessions are typically one hour long, and are open to anyone interested in attending. The first half of the session is the presentation, and the second half is the discussion.
-
The discussion sessions will build towards the overall theme of the conference.
