Welcome to UCLA Medical Friends!
ABOUT US Medical Friends is UCLA's first mentorship program catered exclusively to pre-med students. Our program pairs up experienced, pre-med upperclassmen mentors with underclassmen looking to pursue careers in healthcare. In addition to mentorship, we hold weekly interactive workshops meant to educate pre-med students on various topics, including but not limited to finding a research lab, pursuing volunteer opportunities, picking the path of medicine that suits you, etc. We also invite speakers from different concentrations (M.D., PhD., D.O., nursing, etc.) to talk about their experiences and answer questions from students who are interested in these fields. The aim of our club is to end the image of cutthroat competition among pre-med students and replace it with one of camaraderie and friendship that allows students to have a successful pre-med experience. OUR MISSION UCLA Medical Friends is a peer-created space with the goal of building community and creating an atmosphere where pre-med students can support one another, ignite passions, share resources, and form strong peer mentorship relationships. We’re here to lift each other up, inspire passion in the medical field, and touch the lives of others through service and outreach. |
