COMPETITIVE EVENT

WPC is proud to offer a range of pre-professional events that cover the diverse spectrum of the medical field. Our competitive events give each attendee an opportunity to display their enthusiasm for these fields and potentially win monetary prizes. From a bioethics hackathon to a life sciences consulting introduction and an event focused around your research and volunteer presentations, our CEs are the heart of the annual conference. 

 

To the right you will find a list of our events this year and their descriptions. Once you register for the conference, we will send you an email allowing you to list in order your preference for participation in each one. 

​

Note that there will be different competitions at the in-person and virtual conference due to the difference in participation format. Displayed here are competitions for our in-person component.
