Charter Bus Option
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.
