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 2024 Fall semester, Pre-Health Peer Mentorship drop-in office hours will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-11am at the Reitz Unions UF Career Connection Center.
Students may visit our office hours to discuss topics related to:
- Health career exploration
- Clinical experiences
- Leadership
- Clinical and non-clinical volunteering
- Exam preparation and strategies
- Shadowing
- Mentorship
- Research
- Growth years
- Letters of recommendation
- Application components and preparation
- Campus resources
- and more!
