The 2025\/26 academic year marked another successful chapter for the Semmelweis International Mentoring Program. This year, 80 mentors supported over 180 first-year international medical students, helping them navigate the challenges of university life, adapt to a new environment, and build a sense of community from the very beginning of their medical studies.<\/p>\n

The program continued to introduce meaningful connections between mentors and mentees, providing academic guidance, practical advice, and peer support throughout the year. The positive feedback received from participants reflected the value of having experienced students to turn to during the transition into university. Many mentees described the program as helpful and enjoyable, with several expressing their interest in becoming mentors themselves in the future.
\nParticipants also shared constructive suggestions, including organizing more group activities, introducing mentors earlier in the semester, increasing regular check-ins, and providing additional opportunities for informal discussions. These valuable ideas will help us further strengthen the program in the years ahead.<\/p>\n

\nThis year’s success would not have been possible without the dedication of our mentors, teaching assistants, and staff members. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Sania Zoorbakhsh<\/strong> for her invaluable contributions to the development and growth of the International Mentoring Program. Although she will no longer continue as a staff member, her commitment and hard work have left a lasting impact on the program and its community\"\".<\/p>\n

\nWe would also like to thank all of our Teaching Assistants for their continued support throughout the academic year, and give a special acknowledgement to Ririka Tamura<\/strong> for launching the Peer-Led Mental Well-Being Group<\/em> initiative, which provided students with an additional space for connection and well-being.<\/p>\n

\nThank you to everyone who contributed to making the 2025\/26 academic year another memorable and successful one. We look forward to continuing to grow the Semmelweis International Mentoring Program together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
