Testimonials from Our Mentees

"She checks up on me every month to see how I am doing and if I need help or just to talk. Even though she is a very busy first year medical student, she has made time for me in her very busy schedule, looks for ways to help in every aspect of my academics and life, and makes sure she is supporting me since this is her first time being a mentor. I could not have been paired with a better mentor."
"[my mentor] was very very helpful! She and I hit it off the straight away [...] she honestly the BEST mentor I have ever had! She walked me through everything and gave me her documents to use as reference. She gave me helpful tips on the applications! She even gave me pep talks and encouraged me when I thought I would not be able to do it! She helped me edit my personal statement and told me how to improve it!"
"Through this program not only have I gained a mentee, but I have also gained a friend and sister. The bond we formed for this past quarter has truly been amazing."
"I had my meeting with my mentor and we were able to talk for nearly 2 hours. In that time learned a lot whether that was about my activities, application cycle, mcat or just general study tips."

Disability doesn’t diminish capability. Medical students with chronic illnesses and disabilities are breaking barriers, challenging stigmas, and reshaping the future of medicine. Their experiences foster empathy, resilience, and a deeper understanding of patient care. To those without disabilities: be allies. Listen, learn, advocate. To those with disabilities: your presence in medicine is powerful, needed, and transformative. Diversity includes disability. Let’s create spaces where all future physicians can thrive. #MedWithDisabilities #ChronicIllnessInMedicine #InclusionMatters
