A group of 14 MGH physicians and researchers recently participated in the Biomedical Science Careers Student Conference to help encourage minority students to further their education and pursue careers in the biomedical sciences. More than 500 high school, college, graduate, post-graduate and medical students attended the conference to network with advisors, speakers and representatives from various disciplines within biomedicine, including physicians, scientists, educators and leaders of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The conference was sponsored by the Biomedical Science Careers Program at Harvard Medical School.
