“To follow, without halt, one
aim: There’s the secret to success.”
~ Anna Pavlova
Welcome to MAPS!
We are a unique organization that
brings together people from all races and cultures with one
common goal: to one day become the best physicians we
possibly can. With the growth rate of minority populations
in American higher than ever, it is most advantageous for a
future doctor to familiarize him or herself with the
diversity of cultures present in our ever-changing country.
We offer not only the benefit of bringing together these
diverse students, but also the opportunity to work with the
various cultures of the unique Tallahassee community. This
community not only represents the multi-cultural aspect of
MAPS, but also its mission to help serve underserved
communities. Finally, all aspects of our mission and goals
are almost identical to the mission of the Medical School
that harbors our organization. Pre-Medical Students often
look to join organizations so that they may fill a few lines
on their med school application, but the knowledgeable
student knows it takes more than signing up to a few clubs
to get into medical school.
We offer various opportunities
such as:
-
Pre-Med advising to help plan your college years so that
everything is completed in a timely manner
-
MCAT/Med-application Prep
-
Our sister program, SSTRIDE, which focuses on public
speaking, professional development, and offers a
clinical assisting course.
-
Study groups for additional help with classes that
provide a better understanding of the material.
-
Volunteer opportunities to help give back to the
community.
-
Physician panels that allow students to ask doctors
direct questions.
-
Mentoring program to have a student’s perspective on
teaching/classes
We hope that you will take
advantage of these opportunities to better yourself and
become a GREAT DOCTOR!!! See you at the meeting!
Sincerely,
Jose Barquin
President, 2009-2010
