Plans and Mentorship

Platinum plan Mentorship
 ​This plan comes with the most comprehensive mentorship. Based on your profile, we assign you a physician mentor as soon as you join. You will work with your mentor till the end of the match season.
  1. Your first meeting with the mentor will be a strategy session. The mentor will review your profile, understand your current plan and then help you build a roadmap. They will give you specific action items- be it related to ‘hands-on experience’, research and so on.
  2. Monthly meetings with the mentor- your mentor will be available for monthly checkpoints with you. It is your responsibility to follow up on the action plan, prepare your specific questions for the monthly meeting and get the most out of the session. The focus of these monthly sessions changes with the Match season. First couple of months may be about how to get and articulate any missing experience, then it may be discussion about your CV/Personal statement, moving on to interview preparation and Rank Order Lists.
  3. Personal Statement and CV discussion: As we get into the application season, you will work with your mentor to discuss and refine your personal statement and ERAS CV. This will be in addition to the journalist review. For the entire process of PS/CV review refer to this page.
  4. Interview Preparation: In addition to the classes and interview preparation with advisor, you can use the monthly meetings with your mentor to discuss specific questions or concerns about interview- how to articulate response to a specific question and so on.
  5. Rank order List: As you get ready to prepare your Rank Order List, your mentor can review the RoL, understand your criteria and help you finalize it.

The PS/CV review and discussion process is same for all plans.  You can find more details on this page.
