Subject: APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR UVA SMDEP 2008 (formerly Medical
Academic Advancement Program, MAAP).
Dear Lolita,
I would be deeply grateful if you could bring to the attention of your
premed students the opportunities that the new UVA Summer Medical and Dental
Education Program (UVA SMDEP) offers. Please note that UVA SMDEP is open
only to freshmen and sophomore premed students.
For a more detailed description of UVA SMDEP, please refer your freshmen and
sophomore premed students to our homepage on the web, which contains the
application and other information. Our address is as follows:
http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/academic-support
Our website also has a copy of the manual, "A Road MAAP to the Medical
Promised Land: An Advising Manual." We believe your premed students can
benefit greatly from the information in the manual.
Please encourage your students to go on-line and read all of the
instructions carefully before completing the application. I strongly
recommend that they apply as soon as possible since our admission is on a
rolling basis. We have already started admitting students from December
2007.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at
434-982-1867 or e-mail: [log in to unmask] I deeply appreciate your help
with this.

success of our partnership in increasing the representation of individuals
