Humble Beginnings

The SNMA Premedical conference is the brainchild of URMC medical student Clifford Pierre (Class of 2014).  His vision to empower high school and college students with the resources they need to become tomorrow's leading physicians has blossomed into an extraordinary one day conference. Starting in 2010, the conference has positively impacted over 400 high school and college students.
