We Are Minnesota's Future Doctors

  

Bandicoots, Dingoes, Elk... Mmmmm?

What’s the difference between an Alligator and a Gecko…and what in the world is a Bandicoot anyway?

 

When you are accepted into Minnesota's Future Doctors, you become a member of a specific cohort (group).

  • Two cohorts were selected each year in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. In these years, one cohort was selected for the summer program and another was selected for the academic year program. Both of excellent benefits for pre medical studnets.  

  • Starting in 2011, there will be two cohorts selected for the academic year program.

  • To keep them all the groups straight, each cohort is named after an animal!  In A...B....C... order. While you will most closely work with your own cohort and you'll also have opportunities to interact with members of other cohorts.

    Current & Future Program Cohorts:

    • Alligators  and Bandicoots - Selected in 2007, applied to med school in 2009 and will apply in 2010

    • Coyotes and Dingoes- Selected in 2008, applying to med school in 2010 and 2011
