What is Vertical Mentorship?
A platform that matches undergraduate students with medical students based on common backgrounds, goals, and interests; providing mentorship opportunities such as career development advising, role modeling, soft skills enhancement, and psychosocial support.
Our vision is to accelerate personal and professional development of pre-medical students from diverse backgrounds, holding the belief that mentorship should be accessible for all.
Our mission is two fold: Firstly, to provide a personalized mentorship platform for mentees to grow and accomplish academic and professional goals, thereby sparking interest for students to advance into a career in medicine. Secondly, to provide an opportunity for medical students to discover a purpose in teaching and mentorship, allowing medical learners to become teachers themselves.
