Frequently Asked Q's
What makes the Congress of Future Medical Leaders unique?
The Congress will be historic in nature. Thousands of the country's most gifted high school students will gather together with the brightest medical minds of today.
The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who have a demonstratable GPA of 3.5 or above, or an SAT score of 1300+, or an ACT score of 22+ and want to become physicians or go into the medical sciences. The purpose of the Congress is to honor, inspire, motivate, and direct the top students in our country and help them stay true to their dreams.
The lifetime friendships made with future colleagues and the opportunity to network with medical professionals can also give Congress Delegates a competitive edge and greater focus as they begin their journey into a career in medicine.
Most importantly, after the Congress, Delegates will enter into the Academy’s free mentoring program which will provide them with resources to create a path and plan to help them reach their goals.
