Minority Health Professional Mentorship Program

The Minority Health Professional Mentorship Program (MHPMP) is an organization aimed at assisting undergraduate students become competitive applicants to health professional schools. The program is seeking mentees who are enrolled at UF, interested in attending a health professional school (e.g. medical school, nursing school, etc.), and identify as underrepresented individuals (e.g. gender, ethnic background, religion, sexual orientation, etc.). Mentors will assist mentees in their professional school application process and provide valuable advice regarding life as a minority in the healthcare field.

Mentors and mentees will meet once a month to discuss how to become a more competitive applicant to health professional schools. Becoming a mentee is not only a great way to get involved at UF but it is also a great way to help increase diversity across the medical professions and the university.

If you are interested in becoming a mentee, please follow the link (https://forms.gle/gRbEwvdPTZ1g5xUs5) to complete a brief application. We kindly ask that all forms be submitted by September 20^th.

Please feel free to email MHPMP with any questions at MHPMPUF@gmail.com!
