Mentoring can't work if you don't communicate! Make sure to contact your mentor and discuss how you will keep in contact. You will also receive guides from our mentoring team about how to maintain a productive mentoring relationship.
Get your place on medicine or dentistry (fingers crossed!)
Over 80% of our mentees gain places on medicine and dentistry. Please let us or your mentors know - we would love to hear how we have supported your journey.
Become a mentor
If you're a current medical and dental student, doctor or dentist - you can apply to be a mentor with us!
It is a highly rewarding process in which you will support an applying student to gain a place in medicine and dentistry. Our mentors build skills that support them in their professional and personal development, and get a certificate for their portfolio!
Application deadline: Tuesday 16th May 2023
A few testimonials from our amazing mentees!
'My mentor took the time to fully engage with me and my concerns. As someone who is actively going through the graduate application process, I am able to ask questions and receive answers that are more tailored to the graduate entry programme.'
'She gives honest advice that is realistic unlike most mentors from school. I feel a lot more comfortable talking to her. '
'It is very encouraging to be part of this initiative and seeing the enthusiasm and passion of the people behind this scheme through communication and eagerness to improve together with the volunteers. There has been opportunities to give feedback which has been well received and even implemented'
