Our philosophy is simple. We think that you deserve better mentorship. And, not just any mentorship…honest, genuine, useful, personal, Physician-led mentorship.
We know, at times, you feel stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, unsure, lost, and isolated. You feel like you’re barely surviving going from one exam or clerkship to the next. You often struggle balancing your professional and academic responsibilities with your personal and family obligations. You have sacrificed countless hours of your own personal and family time over the years in your commitment of pursuing medicine. You have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in your undergraduate, postgraduate and medical education.
Throughout your personal and professional life you will have to make many difficult and important decisions that will not only affect you but also your loved ones. You deserve, and need, someone who has been there to support and guide you and to help you make informed decisions that are right for you. This journey is long and hard. We know this because we were once in your shoes. We faced the same hardships and struggles. And, we made it. It is because of our similar experiences, we know your medical school journey does not have to be about merely surviving. Instead it can, and should, be about thriving!
We are DocDocMentors, a virtual, personalized, Physician-based medical student mentorship and coaching platform dedicated to you and your personal and professional growth and success. We are practicing Physicians and Surgeons who believe in the power of Physician-Student mentorship. Our goal is to provide you with a safe, friendly and comfortable virtual mentorship platform you can easily access from anywhere and when it’s most convenient for you.
We do not believe using hierarchy, intimidation or fear in mentoring and motivating medical students. Instead, we level the playing field and focus on human to human interactions, on a first name basis. This allows for real conversations to occur and a genuine long-lasting mentor-mentee friendship to form.
You possess unique strengths and weaknesses. You have your own needs and personal and professional aspirations. Different from your colleagues. Our goal is to help you identify and develop your personal unique brand and showcase it when it matters most…your residency interviews! It took a lot to get here and you deserve to feel good, feel supported and be confident about your choices throughout your medical training and your future. Don’t make the same mistakes we did. Instead, use them as your survival guide. We are here to help you reach your full potential and fulfill all your goals and aspirations.
We look forward to helping you grow into the best version of yourself and become the Physician you were meant to be.
