FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BY PARENTS AND PARTICIPANTS
What will my child be doing?
From the conference, your child will learn the fundamentals of how to be a good leader and apply this to Asian and Pacific Islander health. We will have sessions on networking, public speaking, marketing, and business among many other topics; last year we had a variety of speakers come in to talk about their experiences as well as Dr. So from Stanford Hospital who spoke of his passionate fight against hepatitis B. Your child will then have the opportunity to take what he or she learned and apply it to a Team Challenge which will be presented to the rest of the attendees and parents at the conclusion of the conference. Aside from the learning, there are lots of fun activities planned for the kids to mingle and all-together have a great time.
