Congratulations on being selected for the 2009-2010, 2010-2011, 2011-2012 Minnesota’s Future Doctors Frog Cohort.
We are thrilled that you are with us. We will start the program together in September, 2008. In 2008-2009 and 2009-2010, we’ll have three “required events” each year. Attending these events will give you a free ticket to attend our month-long MCAT study prep program in May/June 2010.
You have been selected to participate in a three year program which will take you from sophomore year through senior year of your undergraduate studies.
Please find this draft agenda of our program plans. All events are mainly focused at the University of Minnesota Medical School as the starting point. There are no overnight trips planned. All events are free.
Some of the events listed below are required for Frogs to attend. Others are optional. If you are a member of the Frog Cohort and need to skip an event, simply email Dr. Jo Peterson at jopete@umn.edu. If you would like to see changes to this plan or have ideas for new events, feel free to email your recommendations to Jo.
