They are students like yourself who can identify with some of the same stresses you may be facing. CPAP is not part of the Medical School administration. While we maintain a good relationship with the Medical School, we do not have access to a student's records, and the Medical School does not have access to CPAP's records. CPAP members are selected during the winter of their freshman year. New CPAP members are chosen from each first-year class by current CPAP members.
Candidates apply and go through an interview process before being selected.
There is no set number of CPAP members for each class and the number has ranged anywhere from three to eight per year. Please feel free to call any member of CPAP at any time with any questions, concerns or problems. The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer.
