The Stockton Health Empowerent Conference (SHEC) aims to empower, motivate, and provide information about health professions to students from disadvantaged backgrounds. As a diverse medical school with students from all walks of life, we want to provide resources and wisdom from our learned experiences to students aspiring to a career in healthcare. This conference will facilitate conversations about: long-term goals, college admissions, financial aid, health profession careers, educational achievement, community service, research, and encourage self-growth.
