The Project
Each year, the Annual Medical Education Conference (AMEC) attracts students from all levels of medical education and is consistently the largest gathering of underrepresented minority medical students in the nation. With a slate of workshops and programs focused on the academic and clinical success, development, and preparedness of our cohort of physicians-in-training, AMEC will not only prepare pre-med and medical students in their journey to become socially competent and clinically excellent physicians but will also provide a unique opportunity to network with students and physicians from all over the country.
We hope to attend AMEC in Hartford, Connecticut from April 5 - 9, 2023!
Who We Are
We are the Multicultural Association of Pre-Medical Students (MAPS). Our goal is to make medical school and other pre-health/post-graduate programs more accessible to multicultural students by providing resources and networking opportunities that are vital to the success for matriculation into these programs, with an emphasis on the medical field.
The Impact
Last year, a group of 8 MAPS members had the privilege of attending AMEC. We were able to talk with representatives from a variety of medical schools. We met with diverse individuals, who were are all in different stages of the healthcare journey. The conference attendees' unique experiences inspired us! Overall, this was an exceptional opportunity for those of us who attended, allowing us to strengthen our passions for the medical field, and encouraging us to work harder.
AMEC has endless networking opportunities and a large variety of workshops.This is a tremendous opportunity that will not only impact the participants' undergraduate careers, but also their post-graduate careers and activities!

Thank you for your previous support of this crowdfunding campaign page! Because of you, several members were able to attend AMEC last spring.
We are continuing to crowdfund this year and could use your help reaching our goal of $6,000, allowing us to once again send members to this professional development conference. To view our fall 2023 campaign, please click here.
