Minorities in Health Conference

MIHC aims to educate students on community health disparities and decrease these disparities by encouraging and inspiring high school and undergraduate students to strive toward higher education and ultimately careers in health. Hosted by the Black Students in Health Association (BSHA), the Chicanos/Latinos in Health Education (CHE), the Pilipino Association for Health Careers (PAHC), the Asian American Pacific Islander Health Research Group (AAPIHRG), and Cal Undergraduate Public Health Coalition (Cal UPHC), this free conference aims to educate students on health disparities that affect our communities and find ways to decrease these disparities by encouraging and inspiring both high school and undergraduate students to strive toward higher education and ultimately careers in health. Students will have the opportunity to network and interact with a variety of health professionals, medical students, and graduate students from schools throughout the Bay Area such as UCSF and UC Berkeley, attend beneficial workshops, participate in public health discussions, and better equip themselves for their journeys in these competitive career tracks. Additionally, students may have special access to free or greatly reduced MCAT and GRE Prep class by attending the conference and will have access to the UC Berkeley Health Careers Opportunity Program Manager for career and graduate education advising sessions after the conference.
