The issue with that is that I've seen on multiple threads that stuff presented at school conferences hold negligible weight.

It's very minor, but an easy step in the right direction from where he's at now with nothing

This is true, but it's better than nothing. This is your best (and only?) alternative.

Most of the conference presentations I see are not medical specialties. More along the lines of biochemistry vs. neuroscience vs genetics. Authorship is almost always impressive (getting authorship when your parent is the senior author is less impressive - ahem), conference presentations depend on the topic and the scope (local, regional, national, international, student only, professional, etc).

How do we tell if the conference we're presenting at is a regional or a national conference? For example, the conference could be taking please near our home institution but presenters could be coming in from across the country to present! @LizzyM @Goro

Regional conferences sometimes have a regional name to them...ie, the Florida Anatomy Conference.

National conferences are usually sponsored by an organization, like the American Society of Chemical Engineers.
