University of Minnesota encourages medical school path
A panel from the university's liberal arts college and medical school conducted interviews with 20 applicants last week and are in the selection process.
Minnesota high school students who have been accepted in the liberal arts college and express an interest in medical careers are invited to apply after being reviewed for experience in leadership and medicine.
The program's goals are to invest in future physicians earlier in their education and to create a diverse workforce, said Dimple Patel, the medical school's associate dean for admissions.
