The PrIMES Mentorship Program, supported by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, seeks to empower URiM (Underrepresented in Medicine) pre-med students by pairing them with current medical students or resident physicians as mentors.
PrIMES is dedicated to helping students overcome the unique barriers they face in applying to and matriculating into medical school. Through mentorship, the program aims to increase diversity in medical education and provide guidance and support to students from historically underrepresented backgrounds.
Recruitment has begun for the 2025 virtual cohort. The program is entirely online and requires a commitment of just one hour per week, along with a few online events where mentors and mentees can connect and socialize.
