**FAQs**
My university offers many medical school preparatory sessions. What makes MedX Conferences different?
Our conference is your one-stop-shop for all things medical admissions. Rather than a series of disjointed seminars on various admissions related topics, we bring together all the information, resources and connections you need to craft an excellent application into one space. Being an event unaffiliated with any school, our delegates also get the chance to network with students and doctors from universities across the province.
