Project Details
Youth Health Research Symposium
Our annual symposium brings together college students to share original research, literature reviews, and community health projects in a virtual or in-person setting. The event features guest speakers from public health, medicine, and research who offer insight, mentorship, and inspiration. Through presentations, discussions, and networking, the symposium fosters collaboration, leadership, and visibility for youth-driven public health efforts.
Theme 1: Access and Affordability
Explores how financial barriers - from overpriced medications to lack of insurance - limit equitable access to essential healthcare and how policy or innovation can make care more attainable for all.
Theme 2: Misinformation and Hesitancy
Examines how misinformation and declining public trust shape health behaviors, highlighting strategies to rebuild confidence in science and promote informed decision-making across communities.
