Knowing that many pre-medical students, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, may lack access to physician mentors, Allina Health/United Family Medicine Residency aims to address that barrier by building a mentorship program in partnership with the Minority Association of Pre-medical Students (MAPS) at the University of Minnesota.
In the MAPS-Physician Mentorship Program, our goal is to develop a meaningful, long-term mentorship between pre-med students and physicians.
Support for graduating medical students from underrepresented minority backgrounds – which is being shared on social media under the hashtag #MedGradWishlist. Students have posted lists of medical supplies to essentials for new living arrangements once starting residency.
