Pre-Med Mentoring Program

*Calling all Pre-Meds!*

We are pleased to offer the Pre-Med Mentoring Program in conjunction with the UVA School of Medicine. Undergraduate students interested in medicine will be paired up with a current medical student to use as a resource to talk about medical school and becoming a physician. We hope to dissolve the myths associated with medical school, as well as provide encouragement and opportunities to learn more about the professional field.  In addition to medical students providing “as-needed” support, we also hope to have an event in the fall and in the spring for mentors and mentees.

The application process is easy and simply involves getting your responses to a short list of questions which will help us gauge your needs and interests (see below). Please use the following SurveyMonkey link to respond to the application questions:  http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KS9VB6R. We will be accepting applications until September 30^th. Email uvapremedmentoring@gmail.com with any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you!
