"This conference helped me find a job, and it's an amazing job, a really good place for me to nurture myself and my skills," said Devpradnya Kadam of UF Health.

"The network that I have formed from the conference continues to grow each year and results in applications and case studies that can be shared with students, as well as motivation for new class projects, research or even in some cases consulting opportunities," said Jennifer Percival, a regular attendee and SHS president-elect.
