Mentor-ship Program
Yetena Weg Mentorship
Yetena Weg Mentorship program is a virtual platform where medical students and other health care professionals communicate and get Guidance and Mentorship from experienced professionals in the Health Care field in their pursuit of academic and professional goals.
The Mentorship program was started in 2020. In our Inaugural year, we have successfully matched 198 mentees with experienced health care professionals. The Program also conducted Webinars on Leadership, Effective Communication, career and Academic Development, and International test preparation like USMLE and PLAB.
As of January 2022, Yetena Weg Mentorship has partnered with the Federal Ministry of Health and the Ethiopian Medical Students Association (EMSA) to increase the capacity and access to health care professionals all over Ethiopia.
