Medical Student Ambassador Program

The Venue

FIX 2018 will be held at the New York Academy of Medicine. A historic Romanesque building completed in 1927, the building’s stunning interior is filled with decorative details that evoke the history of medicine– a perfect backdrop to invite conversation about the future of medicine and the vital and thrilling role women play in it.

Also on site, the New York Academy of Medicine’s academic library houses one of the world’s most important collections of original medical and public health texts. Located on Fifth Avenue across from Central Park, FIX 2018 participants will find themselves right in the heart of New York City’s bustling Upper East Side, with easy access to museums and restaurants.

On October 17th and 18th, speakers will be featured on the stage of Hosack Hall, a beautiful 583-seat theater fully equipped to bring state-of-the-art presentations to conference attendees.

The President’s Gallery, a stunning 1,700 square-foot space located directly across from the auditorium will house our exhibitor’s space, where FIX attendees can network, relax, and engage with sponsors.

Welcome Party

Our Welcome Party will take place the night of October 16 at the Highline Ballroom, a great way to get to know each other anticipation of the event.

Our exclusive sponsor, Butterfly Network, will help us kick of FIX18 with style and grace.

FIXinNY Networking Dinners

One of the most popular aspects of FIX17 is back- the FIXinNY Dinners!  We will divide up the entire conference into dinners of 8-10 people around NYC. Think of it like the best wedding table you have ever sat at, except at a great restaurant.  We will take over the east side, west side and all sides in between!

 

Child Care

FIX 2018 is a family-friendly conference, dedicated to providing an inclusive atmosphere for all physicians, including parents of small children.

Thanks to our childcare sponsors Rosh Review, we have secured a dedicated space to provide onsite childcare for conference attendees and to serve as a breakout space for the parents of young children.

 

Accommodations

We have hotel blocks at the following hotels: Hotel Wales, Hotel Plaza Athenee and Hotel Marmara.

Through our invite only facebook group, FIX18, participants will discuss other creative (read: economical) ways to spend a few days in NYC!

Refund Policy:

100% ticket refunded until June 15, 2018.

50% ticket price refunded until August 15, 2018.
