The fMRI organization gives UIUC undergraduates interested in pursuing an MD/PhD the skills and tools that they will need in order to become successful applicants to MD/PhD programs. This will be accomplished through a variety of mechanisms--many of them, in conjunction with the activities of the UIUC Medical Scholars Program, one of the largest MD/PhD programs in the country. fMRI members will serve as a support network to each other and will have the opportunity to explore what is involved in pursuing dual degrees and careers as physician-scientists.
