  • My experience with being a mentor

    Take a minute to think about the best mentor you’ve ever had. It could have been a colleague, a parent, your friend, a coach, or your high school teacher. You reach a point in your life where you have the chance to do the same for someone else. Now as senior in medical school, I […]
