MedTech Society: Mentorship Programme Chair

Hi! I’m Juri and I’m running for the Mentorship Programme Chair!

I really enjoyed the mentorship program last year, and want to keep it amazing with some improvements!

I will do this by:

1. More interaction opportunities between mentees
   For example, by organising pre-program get-to-know-each-other sessions, I want to take the program to a networking opportunity with like-minded students.
2. Feedback form before, throughout, and after the program
   I will keep an online form open and accessible to both mentees and mentors to submit any feedback they have. I will also keep progress on the valuable feedback submitted open to you!
3. Follow-up connection sessions between mentors and mentees
   I will organise more online and on-campus networking events post-programme, strengthening easier networking opportunities with other mentors as well.
4. Mentors’ preferences form
   Each mentee can list a preference in mentors/background (study field etc.), avoiding swapping processes later on and getting mentor-mentee match-up done successfully!

Meanwhile, some things I want to maintain with the mentorship programme are:

1. Small number of mentees per mentor
2. Providing a suggested framework for each session

Why me?
I had so much fun and learning from the mentorship program last year so I really want to make it even better this year!

I really really want to make the program a better one, so please vote for me!!!!

Thank you so much for reading it till the end!!!
