Program Design
The Multicultural Association of Pre-Medical students works
in partnership with the College of Medicine in providing a
comprehensive student support program which includes
academic advisement, tutoring, mentoring, personal
development workshops, career placement, community service
and volunteer opportunities.
- Academic advisement focuses not only on appropriate
curriculum selections (to be done by MAPS faculty
advisor), but also on helping students cope with
academic and non-academic concerns. Important parts of
the this organization’s mission include interview
workshops, career placement opportunities, professional
school, application and testing information, exam
preparation and assistance in developing and
implementing plans of action for students.
- Tutoring will be available in every academic area.
Undergraduate and graduate students will help members
develop strategies for addressing academic deficiencies.
Study skills, testing and problem-solving strategies
will be included in tutoring sessions. The focus will be
on individual help from skilled staff and successful
MAPS students, who will become a part of the student’s
academic world, providing a continuum of consistent help
and follow-up from the point of entry through
graduation.
- Professional, academic and student mentors are
paired with participants depending upon their needs and
goals.
- Community service projects are coordinated and
implemented each semester.
- Personal development workshops are conducted to
address issues such as social development, self-esteem,
time management, campus involvement and leadership
opportunities.
