Med Buddies is a mentorship program that aims to connect underclassmen with upperclassmen mentors to help guide them on their pre-med journey! Mentors and mentees meet twice a month, giving underclassmen the ability to ask any questions they may have, ask for advice, or just socialize with their peers.

The journey to medical school is not an easy one, but having a reliable support network can make it much easier! Mentees are able to come to their mentors with any questions they may have, whether that be about classes, professors, or how to study for the MCAT. Additionally, mentees can earn up to 2 social points by meeting with their mentors. There are no requirements to be a mentee!
