About
Undergraduate students from schools across the United States are invited to participate in the ADLM Scholars program at the ADLM Annual Meeting. The program aims to introduce students to the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM), laboratory medicine career paths, and to build longstanding mentor-mentee relationships between the students and ADLM members. ADLM will provide mentorship, a panel on career pathways, and the opportunity for scholars to attend several events during the ADLM Annual Meeting.
