From Pressure to Purpose: Illuminating the Path to Excellence
The largest gathering of underrepresented minority medical and premedical students across the United States and the Caribbean, the Annual Medical Education Conference (AMEC) gives attendees several days of innovative programming geared at preparing the next generation of physicians for successful careers in medicine. With tens of educational workshops and programs focused on academic and clinical success, professional development, and personal growth, AMEC is a premier experience that catapults attendees toward becoming “clinically excellent, culturally competent, & socially conscious” physicians. Attendees will also enjoy the unique opportunity to network with colleagues, physicians, medical school/residency program representatives, and partners from all over the country.
Our 60th Anniversary
AMEC 2024 will be held in person in New Orleans, LA at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center from March 27th to March 31st, 2024. The theme for this year’s AMEC is “From Pressure to Purpose: Illuminating the Path to Excellence”. This year’s theme reflects what each element of our organization represents, how our initiatives uplift the SNMA’s mission, and the importance of reviving our overarching vision as we fully transition into a post-pandemic space.
Workshops
We are excited to host our AMEC 2024 in New Orleans, LA and present engaging workshops, dynamic speakers and panels that will provide unique insights for inspiring both student and professional audiences.
