How MentorsMD works
MentorsMD connects you with med students and residents who got in recently. Every mentor is vetted by our senior team, prices are set by the hour, and every hour you use is logged where you can see it.
Four simple steps
Find a mentor
Browse vetted mentors by what you need help with: personal statement, secondaries, interviews, MCAT and more.
Message or book a free intro call
Ask questions or book a free 15-minute intro call. Buying unlocks once the mentor replies or your intro call happens.
Book and pay securely
You pay MentorsMD for hours at your mentor's rate, not the mentor directly. Every call and block of written work is logged, and if something goes wrong our team settles it (refunds are given as MentorsMD credit).
Get your feedback or have your call
Book 30- or 60-minute calls on your mentor's calendar and join a private MentorsMD video room, or send work for written feedback. Every hour is logged on your package page.
Every mentor, vetted.
Anyone can call themselves an admissions coach. On MentorsMD, nobody mentors until they've been through a rigorous interview with each of our senior team members, so every mentor has real experience and outstanding results.
Interviewed
Every mentor goes through a rigorous interview with each of our senior team members.
Real experience
We make sure they have real, hands-on experience with what they offer.
Outstanding results
Only mentors with outstanding results of their own are accepted.
Invite-only
Nobody can sign up to mentor. Every mentor joins through an invite from our team.
Your payment and safety, protected.
We built MentorsMD so students never have to take a mentor's word for it.
Secure payments through MentorsMD
You pay MentorsMD, not the mentor. Your hours are logged as they're used, and when the work is marked complete you have 48 hours to approve it, ask for one last call or revision, or open a dispute.
One last call or revision, and disputes
When your mentor marks the work complete, you can ask for one last call or one last revision. If something goes wrong, open a dispute and a MentorsMD admin decides; refunds are given as MentorsMD credit you can use with any mentor.
Private video calls
Calls happen in a private MentorsMD video room that you join from your order, so there's no need to share your phone number or personal accounts.
Parental consent under 18
Students aged 13 to 17 need a parent or guardian's consent before they can message or book. Parents get a receipt for every order.
Finishing early
Packages are priced on an estimate of the hours. If you and your mentor finish early, the unused hours aren't refunded: mentors aren't penalised for working efficiently.
