Without MFD, I may not have gotten into medical school. I really needed the financial support and opportunities that were set up for us to explore medicine. In a big university, it is not always easy to find a project of interest to help out on or a doctor who is willing to let someone shadow him or her.      Faduma S. 

Minnesota's Future Doctors means a lot to me. Without the workshops, advice, and financial and professional support, I would not have achieved the progress I mad in preparing for medical school. I am thankful for the heal I received from the Future Doctors program.   Daniel C.

Minnesota's Future Doctors has helped me believe in myself and reach for things I never imagined possible. Thanks to the program, I was able to go to  Yale School of Medicine this summer for an intensive pre medical program. If it wasn't for MFD, I wouldn't have learned about the program, nor would I have had the courage to apply to such a prestigious Ivy League school.     Mohamed H. 

Minnesota's Future Doctors has given me guidance and opportunity. Without this program, I would never have been been able to visit many hospitals and facilities and meet visionary professionals. I come from a low income family and because of future docs, money was not an issue. That meant more to me than anything. With help from MFD, I was able to take MCAT courses and buy expensive books. I had connections with physicians even though there aren't any in my family. Bisrat F. 

MFD means more than a program dedicated to serving underserved students to be competitive to go to medical school. I consider MFD a key part of my college and lifetime success. Through the program, I have met students who are likeminded and mentors who have guided me in the right path to pursue a career in medicine. Since 2010, I have been working on a health disparities project that I learned about through MFD. Without MFD, I would not have been a competitive applicant to medical school.   Abdi J. 

   
MFD has provided me with unlimited support and the tools to achieve my medical career goals. Through the program, I learned about ways to strengthen my applicant profile. The program's focus on health disparities has influenced my selection of extracurricular activities. I strongly believe that Minnesota's Future Doctors has increased my likelihood of success in medicine. Rachel K.
