About the Graduate Symposium

The Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists (ABRCMS) Graduate Student Symposium is designed for graduate students (master’s-level and doctoral-level) from 12 STEM disciplines. The goal of the symposium is to:

  • Highlight doctoral students' research through oral presentations,
  • Build all graduate students' scientific networks with STEM and career professionals, and
  • Strengthen all graduate students' professional development skills

The symposium will be held November 14–15, 2023 (1.5 days) at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown prior to the official start of the ABRCMS conference.
