Mentoring
Many of our students appreciate the opportunity to speak with a mentor both during and after their studies. Mentors help alumni with decisions around specialty choice, resume and application review and career trajectory and advancement. If you would like to participate as a mentor, begin the conversation by letting us know of your interest. We will connect with you when we receive your email.
