Research Mentorship

What is mentorship?

The PMSA Research Mentorship Program provides an opportunity for students to obtain individualized guidance from a professional. Where possible, student participants are paired with a mentor knowledgeable in a similar field of study, research interest, and/or extracurricular activity. Student researchers will be expected to attend class daily and their assigned mentorship day weekly.
