SLU APSA provides monetary travel awards to SLU medical students for outside conference attendance/presentation at the regional and national APSA yearly conferences!
Some quotes from our awardees at the 2024 National APSA Conference
Brady Chrisler: This funding was instrumental for my attendance at the AAP/ASCI/APSA Joint Meeting. Without it I wouldn't have been able to experience my first national conference and grow as a learner, researcher, and physician. Presenting next to other medical students from the likes of Harvard, Duke, and Vanderbilt gave me perspective on the importance of my research and gave me confidence to keep pursuing my research goals. Thank you!
Victoria Wittgen: I had a wonderful time attending the APSA Joint Meeting in Chicago! Presenting at a national conference is such a valuable experience. I am especially grateful for APSA's help in making this possible, through providing the opportunity to submit my work and funding the experience.
