30th Annual Stanford University Minority Medical Alliance (SUMMA) Conference
The 30th Annual Stanford University Minority Medical Alliance (SUMMA) Conference is taking place virtually Saturday, Feb. 6 from 8am to 5:30pm.
The annual pre-medical conference is one of the oldest on the West Coast, drawing many participants throughout the region and beyond. The goal of SUMMA is to increase diversity in the health professions in order to provide better care in under-resourced communities.
