VENUE AND HOTEL INFORMATION
The in-person component of the 2024 Harvard Undergraduate World Pre-Health Conference will be hosted at the Joseph B. Martin Conference Center at Harvard Medical School from April 13th-14th. Because we are not hosting at a specific hotel venue, we have provided a list of plausible, nearby hotels to stay at and their pricing for the duration of the conference.
Our finance team is hard at work looking through financial aid applications and if any questions should arise concerning hotel pricing and information, do not hesitate to reach out to our finance email at finance@worldprehealthconference.org.
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.

FINANCIAL AID
WPC is a non-profit organization founded just three years ago. Because of this, we will not be able to provide financial aid to every student who applies for either conference component. However, our finance committee has worked hard to announce our 2024 financial aid program. You will be able to indicate on our application the financial aid that you are requesting!
If you have any general inquiries about WPC 2024, please contact us here. We will get back to you within five business days.
