The National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists was chartered as a nonpartisan, taxpaying institution to help address this crisis by working to identify, encourage, and mentor students who wish to devote their lives to the service of humanity as physicians, medical scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians.
The National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists was founded on the belief that we must identify prospective medical talent at the earliest possible age and help those students acquire the necessary experience and skills to take them to the doorstep of these vital careers. The Congress of Future Medical Leaders and the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists are owned by Bottega University of Salt Lake City, Utah.
