Each year, the Medical Student Section regions host Physicians of the Future Summits which allow for educational programs and further discussion on leadership development relevant to each region and its membership.

Medical students will have the opportunity at the summit to learn how to grow their leadership skills and use these skills to advocate for the medical profession.
