Over the past decade, the Medic Mentor organisation has been a source of inspiration and guidance for tens of thousands of aspiring students who dream of becoming doctors. Through our mentorship programmes, we have successfully mentored students who have gone on to achieve their dreams and become doctors themselves.
What is remarkable is that many of of our successful Medic Mentor students (mentees) have returned as volunteer doctors, known as Medic Mentors, to give back to the organisation that supported them on their journey. These Medic Mentors bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the mentorship programme and are a testament to the power of giving back. Our organisation is named after these inspirational students who have gone on to become doctors – proving that our programmes actually work!
Medic Mentors understand the challenges and struggles that aspiring students face when applying to medical school. They provide invaluable support to students by sharing their own experiences, offering guidance, and providing mentorship to help them navigate the journey to becoming a doctor.
The success of the Medic Mentor programme is due in no small part to the dedication and commitment of these volunteer doctors. Doctors can join us at any point in their careers. They give up their time to inspire and guide the next generation of doctors, and their contribution is immeasurable. These volunteer doctors give back because of the support they received when they applied to medical school through the Medic Mentor organisation, and they are an inspiration to all who dream of becoming a doctor.

Doctors can volunteer at Medic Mentor by leading large-scale events, such as mock interview days and medical leadership programme teaching days. These events provide aspiring students with the opportunity to learn from experienced doctors and gain valuable insights into the medical profession.
To get involved in these events, doctors can contact Medic Mentor and express their interest in volunteering. Medic Mentor will then provide volunteer doctors with more information on the specific event and the role they will be playing. Medic Mentor offers training to ensure that doctors are well-prepared and equipped to lead these events and provide a positive learning experience for students.
In addition to leading large-scale events, doctors can also get involved in mentoring medical students who have been awarded scholarships. This mentoring programme offers doctors the opportunity to work one-on-one with medical students, providing them with guidance, support, and advice throughout their medical degree.
