The Academy will share a preliminary schedule on the website approximately 3 months before the Congress. A sample schedule is available as a preview. The final schedule will continue to be adjusted until the day the Congress begins, as we intend to create the most exciting experience including the most interesting speakers.

After passing an open note exam to demonstrate attendance at the Congress of Future Medical Leaders, and upon verification of your 3.5 or above GPA, you will receive the Congress of Future Medical Leaders Award of Excellence. The Award is earned by attending all days of the Congress, participating in activities, and exhibiting leadership in and dedication to the medical profession.

In a COVID-19 world, high-achieving students have lost so many opportunities to distinguish themselves and showcase their talents. The Congress of Future Medical Leaders Award of Excellence is used by Delegates in college, scholarship, and internship applications.

Yes, please! Parents and family members are welcome to attend the Congress. We will have parent and special guest seating in an area separate from the delegates with a good view of the Congress proceedings. Seating for parents is limited to ONE parent or family member on the opening night of the Congress and on a space-available basis for the other two days. All family members are welcome for the closing ceremony.
