HOW IT WORKS

Mentorships, Custom-Built Around Your Goals

Here’s what you can expect when you enroll in our Pre-Physician Assistant Mentorship Program:

Introductory Questionnaire

First, you’ll complete a detailed questionnaire, giving your mentor a clear picture of your experience, goals, and needs.

Tailored Mentorship Plan

Based on the answers you provide, your mentor will create your customized mentorship program. When you first meet via Zoom, you’ll review this plan and make any desired changes.

Regular Check-Ins

Over the course of your partnership, your mentor will make sure you’re on track with your plan and applications as well as provide guidance during live virtual meetings.

WHY CHOOSE ACT MENToRING

There are many reasons why pre-PA students choose ACT for medical mentorship.

Individualized Attention

Unlike college admissions consultants, who may work with dozens of students in a session, our mentors meet with you one-on-one so you’re never just another number.

Budget-Friendly

While admissions consultants and application specialists charge tens of thousands of dollars in fees, we offer our medical mentorship programs for a fraction of the price.

Resource Access

As part of our mentorship programs, you get access to our membership portal, where you can find educational and career tools and connect with other pre-health students.

Immediate Enrollment

With no application required, all you have to do is enroll on our website for instant access to your chosen program, so you can get right to work.

Lee Phan, PA-C
Pre-PA Academic Mentor

Lee Phan is a graduate of Barry University in Miami Shores, FL, where she earned her Master of Clinical Medical Sciences and Physician Assistant degree. She attended the University of Colorado Boulder prior to PA school, where she received her B.A. in Integrative Physiology with a minor in Business Analytics. Upon discovering her interest in the field of medicine, she worked in multiple roles within healthcare as a pharmacy technician, phlebotomist, medical scribe, and medical assistant. As a first-generation Vietnamese American with no prior close connections to PA, Lee was faced with several common obstacles when applying to PA school, including the lack of resources available, difficulty in finding a reliable mentor who fully understood the process, and the financial hardships that limited her ability to apply to many schools. Through trial and error, she has paved her own unique path to becoming a PA and is now inspired to provide the resources that she wishes were available during her pre-health journey. In addition to pursuing her passion for medicine, she hopes to help other students gain the confidence they need to become strong candidates and focus their attention on what really matters within the application process.
