Thank you for your interest in serving as a MOLA mentor for our 2026–2027 cohort, beginning in late April/early May! This is an exciting opportunity to truly make an impact on the communities we serve.
The MOLA Mentorship Program aims to provide sustained, professionally supported relationships to underrepresented Latinx students pursuing careers in health care and build a pipeline to healthcare careers for motivated students. Mentorship is provided in a team-based structure across all levels: Health Care Leaders, Physicians, Resident Physicians, Medical Students, Graduate Students, and Undergraduates.
Location of Events:
Mostly remote, some events such as the MOLA Conference take place in person and are optional
MOLA Mentor Commitment:
- Respond to program communications (email/text). The MOLA Mentorship Program uses email as the primary form of communication.
- We warmly encourage MOLA mentors to engage with our lecture and workshop series, both as active participants and potential speakers. Our programming is currently hosted virtually via Zoom, creating an accessible space for everyone to connect and learn together.
- Mentors are required to follow up with their mentee 8-12 times over the course of a year for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- As part of enriching our community, we invite mentors to share their expertise by leading a one-hour lecture or workshop. Your unique perspectives and experiences would be invaluable additions to our curriculum, and many mentors find this to be a rewarding way to contribute to the program.
- Mentors are required to submit a bi-annual check-in form and complete MOLA Surveys upon request
