On behalf of Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV, we are happy to welcome you to Las Vegas and to APAMSA’s 30th Annual National Conference on March 1-3, 2024!
This year, our theme is 'Blooming in the Desert: Resilience, Adaptation, and Growth.' In recent years, APAMSA National Conference themes have centered around boldly imagining the future and thoughtfully examining the past in order to bring our community together around the common goal of eliminating health and healthcare disparities. Now we ask: How do we sustainably solve these challenges by employing the strengths that already exist within our communities and unify these efforts? 'Blooming in the Desert' is about mobilizing existing activism and local stakeholders to collaboratively and creatively meet these goals amid challenges. This theme is rooted in our chapter’s unique experience as a group of medical students at a young but eager university that was established to serve a rapidly growing city with ever changing needs.
As we continue to learn how to “bloom” in these early stages to serve our own community, we recognize that countless communities across the country are doing the same. We’ve invited an impressive and diverse array of speakers who are excited to share their experiences and engage with us on topics ranging from conducting research on AANHPI health on a national level to local advocacy for our patients. Join us on a 2-day journey of community building, making memories, and exploring Las Vegas!

After completing registration information, you will be taken to a Google Payable Form to pay for your conference ticket if you are attending in-person. Early bird pricing is $50 and will be available until 11:59 pm PT on December 31, 2023. General tickets will be priced at $70 thereafter. As a perk of membership, paying APAMSA members qualify for early bird pricing regardless of time of registration.
