INSPIRE Mentoring Scheme

The INSPIRE Mentoring Scheme is intended to support and nurture medical and dental students who may be considering a career in academic medicine.

Mentees on the scheme will be matched with a more senior mentor from within the School. More senior members of academic or clinical academic staff are engaged and able to draw on their experience when acting as a mentor, in order to maximise the value of the scheme for mentees. Mentees will meet regularly with their mentor during scheduled meetings, where they will have a chance to reflect and discuss any aspect of their  professional, personal and career development which might be helpful, in confidence.
