National Youth Medical & Healthcare Symposium
The National Youth Medical and Healthcare Symposium is one of DSAA’s flagship community programs, a full-day event that brings high school and Dominica State College students face-to-face with healthcare professionals, specialty booths, and breakout sessions covering careers across the medical field.
Held in partnership with the American Canadian School of Medicine (ACSM) and DSC, the Symposium gives students a firsthand look at what a career in healthcare is like, from medicine and nursing to pharmacy and bioengineering.
The next Symposium is planned for Monday, October 19, 2026, during Creole Festival week under the leadership of incoming Committee Chair Bernard Hurtault.
Planning is underway. Diaspora members attending Creole Festival week are encouraged to get involved.
