medi-gators peer mentorship program
Currently only available for University of Florida and Santa Fe College students.
Launched in the Spring of 2024 in collaboration with the UF Career Connections Center and UF Pre-Health Advising, the Medi-Gators Peer Mentorship Program is intended to provide pre-health students an approachable platform to seek guidance, support, and advice from peers who are further along in the pre-health journey. Our team of Peer Mentors have gone through pre-health advising training and leadership so as to cultivate an inclusive and informative experience for students.
For the Spring 2025 semester, Pre-Health Peer Mentorship drop-in office hours will take place on Tuesdays from 9am to 11am and Thursdays from 1pm to 3am at the Career Connections Center located on Level 1 of the Reitz Union. On Wednesdays from 4pm to 6pm, students can visit our Peer Mentors on Zoom at https://ufl.zoom.us/j/93163354635 (Meeting ID: 931 6335 4635).
Students may visit our office hours to discuss topics related to:

- Leadership
- Clinical and non-clinical volunteering
- Exam preparation and strategies
- Shadowing
- Mentorship
- Research
- Growth years
