“It's so useful to have someone who is experiencing medical school first-hand to ask any questions, whenever you have them. You're able to find out things that aren't just on Google (finding information on the realities of the career is something I struggled with before I got my mentor) and is especially useful if you're not sure whether or not medicine is the career for youâ€
