Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to reapply if I want to mentor an additional mentee?

Nope! Just email us at theunderdocs@gmail.com and we will add you to our pool of mentors! We will use the profile you submitted to us to match. If anything has changed, feel free to fill out the form again!

How long do matches take?

Typically 1-2 weeks more or less, depending on the number of mentee applications we accept, which varies by availability of mentors!

Do I need to be from an underrepresented group to become a mentor?

While it is certainly a plus, it is not required! We encourage all medical students to apply to be mentors as long as they share our mission for increasing representation of our future physician workforce through mentorship.

Can I become a mentee if I am a medical student?

Yes! It depends on whether we have an upperclassmen mentor available, but you would be paired with a medical student who is at least one year above you!
