Hello folks, found out that AAMC is hosting a virtual fair next week, and I'm curious if MD/PhD programs send representatives to such events. Basically trying to evaluate if it's worth my time going. There is a list of schools on the site link, but nothing specifies anything about MD/PhD

Just dropping this link here in case anyone's interested:

(There also appears to be an MSAR discount for registering)

The NIH Fair is an absolute yes. The AAMC Virtual Fair, it exactly the opposite, I was often the only MD/PhD director attendee.

Consider this one:

Graduate and Professional School Fair

For the NIH GP Fair, we used to do this in-person with most MD/PhD program directors attending. Our annual meeting was often a day after the NIH Fair.

Thanks for sharing, Fencer! Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

I've been to AAMC virtual fairs & have seen other MD-PhD programs represented. We do not get much MD-PHD traffic, so we can use the time to catch up on other things. The NIH fair is the gold standard for us. Nonstop talking for 4 hours. The virtual version is not as busy.

Agreed... definitely circle in highlighter the NIH fair.
