Seeking A Mentor?
Are you an undergraduate student or post-baccalaureate graduate with a strong interest in Family Medicine, and want to learn more by shadowing a family physician?

Want to be a Mentor?
Do you believe in Family Medicine?  Why not share your experience with a young person considering medicine? The mentorship opportunities through the WAFP mentorship program take very little time, and the experience will leave you re-energized about being a family physician! 

PRE-MED STUDENT MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
The program is flexible and designed to give the student and physician mentor the ability to customize the experience so that it meets the interests and needs of the student while enabling the mentor to volunteer for what is realistic in the context of his/her practice.  The mentorship can be a phone conversation, a meeting for coffee or a meal, or a more comprehensive series of shadowing experiences.  The point of the program is to facilitate one-on-one communications between a family physician and interested student.
