Doctors of Tomorrow is a free, week-long summer residential program for college students interested in pursuing a career in medicine. It’s designed to help students feel prepared and confident on their path to medical school—especially those who have faced financial barriers or had limited exposure to higher education and health care careers. In line with our mission to train physicians and scientists who serve their communities, we welcome students from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences.
Thanks to more than a decade of support from Florida Blue, Doctors of Tomorrow has helped over 300 premedical students grow through mentorship, hands-on learning, and professional development—strengthening the pipeline of future health care professionals.

The DOT program was a huge milestone in my journey of becoming a future physician. It reaffirmed my confidence and capabilities regardless of my socioeconomic status or skin color. And the faculty and guest speakers were extremely insightful. I am forever thankful to have been selected for the DOT program, and I hope to be a part of the College of Medicine in the near future!Jaylanie Lopez
