Dear Colleague:

Re:   2018 BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE CAREERS STUDENT CONFERENCE

Location:  The Westin Copley Place in Boston, Massachusetts
Date:         Friday, April 6 and Saturday, April 7, 2018

The Biomedical Science Careers Program (BSCP) is asking for your help in identifying underrepresented minority postdocs (research and clinical); medical, dental and graduate students; post-baccalaureates; and college and community college students(particularly African-American, Hispanic/Latino or American Indian/Alaska Native students) who would benefit the most from attending the conference.  Student participants should be seriously interested in or currently studying medicine, biomedical science or other science-related fields, such as chemistry, physics, biology, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, engineering, biotechnology, physical therapy, public health, allied health or environmental science.

The aim of the Conference is to provide students/fellows with an opportunity to network with advisors/role models from the basic and clinical sciences, medicine, public health, academia and the biopharmaceutical industry.  These advisors/role models will encourage students/fellows to complete advanced studies and provide concrete advice and information on available resources, professional opportunities and career paths in biomedical science and other science-related fields.  The Conference also enables student/fellow participants to meet, inspire and network with one another.  Additionally, each Conference offers breakout and plenary sessions, and a program featuring science resources, including internships, summer programs and after-school activities.  Please see attached flyer for more information.

There is no fee to attend, but completion of a four-page application is required.

Application Deadline: February 5, 2018  February 15, 2018 as long as space is still available.

Please share the attached flyer with eligible students.
Interested students [& postdocs] should contact Lise D. Kay at lise_kaye at hms.harvard.edu<mailto:lise_kaye at hms.harvard.edu> to request an application.

Thank you,
The BSCP Team
