Med Mentors

This virtual program has a wonderful mission and its founder does an excellent job pairing each mentee with a mentor. As a mentor, it has been a fulfilling & humble experience to share the wisdom I've gained thus far throughout my journey in medicine. I hope that my mentees have found the advice I had to share helpful. Overall, if you are a medical student/physician, I think participating in this program is a great way to give back and pay it forward.

"Being a first generation student in America with no family members in the medical field, I struggled with finding real mentors for guidance as a pre-med. It wasn’t until the last year of college that I found the mentor I had wished to find years prior. This mentorship left a permanent impact on me, still to this day. I want to be the mentor that aspiring medical students can come to about any single thing throughout any phase of their journey. I WILL be that mentor for you. Over the years, I have gained various experiences that I am so eager to share with all of you. I am so fortunate to be able to do this through Med Mentors!"

I love that mentors in this program are so passionate about helping pre-med students learn more about medicine and helping us share our "why medicine" story. As a first-gen student, I have felt extremely intimidated by the process of becoming a physician. With help from my mentor, I have grown to be more confident in the experiences and skills I have gained. Without this program, I do not think I would be able to understand the steps I need to take to become a physician and more importantly, realize that there are different routes to medical school and it is okay if I am still discovering mine.

I’ve been paired with a great mentor. We had a great hour-long phone call sharing our experiences. It's amazing being able to find a mentor to help me with the process even after graduating from undergrad. I’ve never had someone to mentor me through this pre-med journey and I feel much more reassured knowing I have someone I can ask questions to directly. Thank you for creating this wonderful virtual program & thank you to all the lovely mentors who are helping to make this possible.

I received my first medical school acceptance to ICOM a few days ago! I am extremely grateful for my med mentor Danielle for guiding me through the process of applying and interviewing for medical schools! Whether it be telling me about her experiences as a medical student, chatting about how I can best prepare for the journey ahead or helping me prep for interviews, Danielle has been nothing but kind, genuine and supportive. I truly appreciate having the opportunity to connect with such a great mentor and could not be more thankful for Med mentors for connecting me with her! I could not have gotten to where I am today without the help of this wonderful organization and am forever thankful!
