Mentoring Program

All students are required to enter a mentoring relationship with a physician beginning their sophomore year in college. MU-AHEC will help arrange the relationship if necessary. Students will have contact with their mentors at least 20 hours per calendar year.

Students will be required to write two one-page papers each year that reflect on their experiences. Reflection papers will be submitted at each retreat. For sophomores, the first paper will address your personal objectives for a mentoring relationship. See the link below for more information.

Reflection Paper Information

Additionally, students will need 20 hours of other health related experiences per calendar year. These experiences may include but are not limited to: health research, leadership activities, shadowing nurses or other health staff.

Community Service

All students are also required to participate in 8 hours of community service per calendar year. The service activity is the choice of the student, but must be approved through Jana Porter at porterjl@health.missouri.edu. Contact information from the volunteer site must be provided to the MU-AHEC office for verification.

Students will submit mentoring, health related and community service hours to the MU Pre-Admissions Program Coordinate at each retreat.  Click here for the submission form. If students fail to meet the Bryant Scholar Program requirements it will result in immediate dismissal from the program.
