What others are saying about Mentoring in Medicine & Science…
“As a first generation college graduate in my family, I did not have anyone to go to in regards to my aspiration to become a doctor. MIMS has been there to mentor, advise, inspire, encourage, and drive me to accomplish my dreams. Connecting with other mentors and peers with a similar background provided me the support that was integral to the success of getting to medical school”
- Tony Tran, MIMS Alumni
“MIMS gave me the confidence to continue on my path and apply to medical school. The internship was the first time I had any clinical experience and I loved it! I received great mentorship and guidance in the application process. I also met other great students that I still keep in touch with today”
- Shanna Tucker, MIMS Alumni
“MIMS provided me with the opportunity to shadow in a clinical setting and get to learn more about the field of medicine. They also provided me with the opportunity to work closely with the community thus exposing me to different components and careers in health. This really reinforced my passion and desire to not only go into medicine but to work with underserved communities.”
