**Participants in the APA Summer Medical Student Program will have their awards managed internally as opposed to receiving funds via direct deposit.**
Program participants will have their registration, airfare, and lodging to the APA Annual Meeting organized and paid for by APA via its online travel system. Following the adjournment of the Annual Meeting, and upon the timely submission of receipts, students will be reimbursed for allowable expenses associated with attending the conference (i.e. meals and local transportation that were not prepaid by APA).
Concerning the APA Publishing certificates, students will identify which books they would like. Concerning the APA Learning Center pathway, students will have required courses and several electives to choose from.
