Our goal is to help volunteers understand the role of each mentorship commitment to ensure you are aligned based on your interest and availability.

  • All physicians who volunteer to be an ElevateMeD Mentor are added to the ElevateMeD Mentor Network.

  • Volunteers have the option to opt-in to become a 1:1 physician mentor.

Join the ElevateMeD Mentor Network

Be a resource to the future of medicine by joining the ElevateMeD Mentor Network. ElevateMeD Scholars and nominated medical students from our participant schools across the U.S. utilize the network to connect with physicians to help guide their career development. Mentees may choose to reach out to mentors in the network for many reasons to support their medical careers (including physician’s specialty, region, and/or medical institution affiliation, etc.)
