Congress of Future Medical Leaders for a prospective engineer?

So I got an email today notifying me I was nominated for the Congress of Future Medical Leaders. My brother did it, so I am not questioning the program's legitimacy, but rather the value of attending it. My goal is to be an engineer, hopefully in the aerospace or computer field, so I'm not sure there would be any benefit for me to attend the congress rather than an engineering-geared program. Is it something that could be worth attending, or would it likely just be a waste of money for me?

I would say if you are looking to go into the medical field then yes that program would be useful, because you could possibly network and it would demonstrate your interest in the medical field. But since you want to be an engineer, you will not find much value or anything to get out of it.
