Conferences Attended

Members don't see this ad.

So I realize ERAS has its section for honor societies/professional memberships where one would put membership in any national or specialty groups.

What about conferences attended? I feel like that is one of the biggest benefits med students can get out of a professional membership (even if you didn't present research).

Is there a place where others are putting this?

This was discussed with aProgDirector and others before and the consensus was to not list that you attended a conference unless you actually presented something there

Thanks. Search didn't come up with anything - I assumed it had been discussed before.

You did not search very thoroughly. If you had done a simple word search for "conferences" then you would have easily found these threads:

do conferences or cme look good on an application (search result #3)

Abstract, Poster Presentation, Oral Presentation [and specifically item #20 where it is addressed by aProgDirector] (search result #4)

Conferences - Work or Volunteer experience? (search result #10)​

Three threads that all address your question, and you wouldn't even have had to look through more than 10 threads.

-AT.

Glanced through 3 pages of the search-saw a lot of premed stuff but didn't notice those. But thank you for being so thorough.
