Senior research students will be mentoring groups of 1st year Medicine research students to help new HDR students with their transition to UNSW in general and to research study in particular. The program focusses on the milestones and challenges new research students are faced with in their first year. Following 3 training sessions for mentees, facilitated by the Faculty, mentors will run face to face and online group sessions, workshops and networking events. Topics will be guided by mentors under consideration of issues mentees would like to discuss or learn more about. Mentors will also be available for questions from individual students and group chats via an online platform.
