PAPALMA had a wonderful time at the 2026 LMSA Midwest Regional Conference, “Raíces de Fortaleza: Hands That Heal, Voices That Lead, Roots That Endure.” 🌱(@lmsamidwest)
Thank you so much (@mcwlmsa) for allowing PALMA to co-host at Marquette University! We hope it helped more pre-meds explore and benefit from the variety of workshops offered. One of our PALMA E-Board members (@lyssa_ruiz15) was also invited to be a panelist in a workshop where pre-med and medical students shared honest insights about their journeys.
The conference included incredible opportunities such as workshops on protecting families beyond the clinic, physician advocacy, suturing skills, and even a virtual reality ultrasound experience. There were also bone marrow drives, exhibitor fairs connecting students with medical schools, and a research symposium.
We’re grateful to have been part of such an inspiring weekend dedicated to uplifting the next generation of Latino physicians and advocates in medicine 🩺🫀
