As a practicing physician, we know that your time is valuable. It was a long journey to get to where you are today – improving the health of individuals and the community as a whole.

One of our goals at DOSE is to encourage students to increase their knowledge of and experience in the medical field so that one day, they can make similar contributions to the ones that you are making today. As a DOSE mentor, you will have the opportunity to practice teaching and mentoring skills while knowing that you are directly influencing the next generation of doctors.

Furthermore, by participating in DOSE, you will be able to set an example of leadership to your peers in the workplace and increase your visibility as a community leader and mentor. Many institutions encourage physicians, nurses, and other healthcare staff to serve their community in ways like mentoring students.

Thus, as a physician participating in the DOSE program, you would not only be providing valuable experiences to undergraduates interested in medicine, but you would also be influencing your peers as a community leader and mentor.
