2025 Physicians for Human Rights National Student Conference:
Our goal is to provide students and trainees with the practical knowledge and tools to be effective advocates for marginalized populations in the communities they serve. We hope that you will join us for this event centered on learning, networking, and discovery. The conference will take place in-person at Harvard Medical School.
Programming will include a student-led poster session, peer networking opportunities, and speakers & breakout sessions featuring local and national leaders in human rights advocacy work. During this two-day conference, we hope that you will be challenged, inspired, and encouraged to be the bridge between medicine, science, and law to help secure human rights and justice for all persons.
This conference is open to undergraduate, graduate, and professional school students, as well as early-stage professionals in related fields, specifically, individuals with interests in medicine, social work, public health, law, global development, and humanitarian aid.
