The Semmelweis Mentoring Program was established in 2019 for Hungarian medical students. The Institute of Behavioural Sciences has recognized that the extension of the program would be very beneficial for international students as well, as they have to face more challenges and difficulties than their Hungarian fellows. With all of these in mind, we found very happily the Semmelweis Mentoring Program in the academic year of 2023/24 for students in the English and German language medical programs.
The interest exceeded the expectations: 64 Mentors (47 students from the English and 18 from the German language program) and 177 Mentees applied (125 from the English language and 52 from the German language program).
