Mentoring Opportunity: PULSE Program

Hey Barnard and Columbia students! Are you a pre-med student (or still deciding) and want an opportunity to be mentored by a physician at Columbia affiliated hospital? PULSE is a national non-profit organization aimed at building mentorship relationships between students and physicians all across the country. We are not affiliated with Columbia University, but have a cohort of Columbia doctors looking to be matched with students in their community!

The PULSE Program will allow you to (virtually - depending on conditions) shadow a physician in a specialty you are interested in! After you apply, students who are accepted into the program will be matched with a physician and have at least two guided (virtual) meetings with them over the span of 2-3 months. This opportunity is fully virtual, however, one aim we have is for you and your physician to build a long lasting mentorship and potentially in the future given COVID conditions, in person opportunities may arise! 

If you are interested in gaining medical related experience (given the restrictions of COVID) and learning from a doctor in the Columbia community, please apply by January 7th to be considered for a match! We look forward to seeing your applications. Please find more information on our website or feel free to email us any specific questions!
