SUMMA

The goal of the Stanford University Minority Medical Alliance (SUMMA) Conference is to equip premedical and pre-health students with tools to apply to medical school and other health training programs. The SUMMA Conference was founded in 1990 by our SUMMA medical students to better care for underserved communities. Our annual pre-health conference is one of the oldest on the West Coast and draws hundreds of students from throughout California and the nation. The SUMMA Conference is open to all students from all backgrounds interested in pursuing a career in medicine to address health inequities.

35th Annual Stanford University Minority Medical Alliance (SUMMA) Conference

The conference will be held in person Saturday, February 7, 2026!

Registration for the SUMMA 2026 Conference will open in the Fall.
