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.
