The conference "provides [students] with an opportunity to get involved and help improve the lives of others," Chan said. "It's important to realize the disparity between our world and the world outside."
This is the fourth conference the Hippocratic Society has held, and this year's conference attracted over 700 participants.
The conference was free to undergraduates enrolled at any institution, and Chan said students had traveled from as far as Brown University and the University of Michigan to attend the weekend.
