Who can I talk to about the Flexible MD, Dual Degree program, or a Leave of Absence?
Kathleen Watson, MD, Associate Dean for Students and Student Learning: drwatson@umn.edu 626-5812. The Flexible MD program is designed to help students achieve educational goals as part of academic progress towards the MD degree through special projects, research, and other experiences that enrich learning outside of the standard curriculum and cause a delay in the graduation date. This includes all dual degrees except the MD/PhD program. Applications for the program are rolling and are reviewed four times per year. Visit the Flexible MD Web site for application instructions and further details. Please contact Dr. Watson to set up a meeting to discuss the Flexible MD program if you have a strong interest. Students who wish to request a “Personal Leave of Absense” are not eligible for the Flexible MD program; instead, please contact Dr. Watson.
