Priority is given to journalists currently working on health and medicine topics. However, experience in covering health and science is not a prerequisite so you are welcome to apply.

Graduate and undergraduate students preparing for a career in health/science journalism are welcome to apply, and we hope to accept selected students, especially those with prior work experience. Priority for the limited number of seats will be given to journalists currently working in the field.

The deadline to apply is June 13, 2025 to get the hotel discount. We are currently reviewing applications, so please apply soon! If all slots are filled your name will be placed on a waiting list.

Once you receive your acceptance, you will have 3 calendar days to confirm attendance. After that time, open slots will be offered to waitlisted applicants.
