The countdown is on: Future Physicians for Change 2026 is back and it’s bigger, bolder, and more unforgettable than ever.

Hosted by the American Medical Student Association (AMSA), FP4C is the place for future physicians who are ready to challenge the status quo and build a better future for medicine. Whether you’re premed, in med school, or somewhere in between, here’s why this year’s event deserves a spot on your calendar.


1. The Sim Challenge Is Back

Got clinical skills and quick thinking? The legendary Sim Challenge gives teams the chance to compete in high-pressure, hands-on simulations. It’s fast-paced, team-based, and one of the most talked-about moments of the conference.

Spoiler alert: bragging rights last all year.


2. Take Advocacy from Concept to Action

At FP4C, advocacy isn’t an idea it’s a practice. Join our Advocacy Day experience to learn how to use your voice to influence policy, champion change, and speak up for the communities you’ll serve. Training + real-world application = a recipe for impact.


3. Celebrate Your People at the National Awards

The National Awards Ceremony honors students, chapters, and allies who are changing the game in medical education, advocacy, and community-building. Come be inspired—and maybe even walk away with a little gold of your own.

Nominate your chapter or a fellow changemaker soon!


4. Experience the Digital Health Innovation Festival

The future of medicine is digital and we’re diving in. Explore the tools, trends, and tech transforming healthcare during our Digital Health Innovation Festival. Expect interactive demos, thought-provoking pitches, and conversations that will shape how you practice.


5. Your People, Your Power

Connect with AMSA’s vibrant community in the Member Hub—a space designed for networking, resting, and real talk. Whether you’re tabling for your chapter, swapping study hacks, or deep in discussion about the future of reproductive justice, you’ll leave with more than just connections, you’ll leave with a crew.


Let’s Be Real—You Belong Here

This isn’t just another conference. It’s a movement. It’s a celebration. It’s a space where future physicians gather to learn, lead, and launch into action.
