The IGNITE Pre-Health Mentoring Program is a year-long peer support/mentor program designed to help new pre-health, first-generation college students transition to PSU from high school and community college. Students enrolled in this program will become active members of the campus community and build knowledge, experience and skills that will lead to continuing success beyond their first year at PSU.
Our program understands that being on the pre-health track can be challenging and that students may encounter imposter syndrome, especially during their first year. As a year-long program, the IGNITE Pre-Health Mentoring Program seeks to encourage and help students pursue academic self efficacy and navigate the nuances of higher-ed and preparation for health careers. Through our program, students join a supportive community and are provided with opportunities, resources and support that contribute to their development as successful pre-health students and leaders.
