Luis De Jesus attends SNMA - AMEC 2024

I had the opportunity to attend the SNMA AMEC 2024 conference in New Orleans this past April, which was a great experience as a trainee. I was able to interact with numerous US and international medical and premedical students interested in radiology, some of whom have maintained communication even after the conference. It provided me with the opportunity to promote and improve the visibility of our subspecialty while offering brief mentorship to those future applicants. Additionally, I heavily promoted our visiting student rotations to all the rising seniors with the hope that they would take advantage of the UiMVCP sponsoring program. 
 
To the best of my understanding, I was the only radiology resident present among all the exhibitors, which made me glad that our specialty was represented, and that it was us leading the way. I believe conferences like this offer a great opportunity for residents and faculty to enhance our recruitment of potential URiM students and to learn from the challenges they may experience.
