Meet with hundreds of residency programs, take in inspiring talks and educational experiences, advocate via the student and resident congresses and more.

Support Minnesota medical students in attending the largest national gathering of medical students and residents interested in family medicine—and engage with those interested in training/practicing in Minnesota during the Minnesota Reception.

The University of Minnesota Department of Family Medicine and Community Health is providing a charter bus for students and residents to travel from Minnesota to FUTURE (at no cost to students and residents). The bus will leave on Wednesday, July 30, and return on Saturday, August 2. If you choose to take the charter bus, you can focus your financial support on hotel and registration expenses and have more time to make connections.
