Inter-organization
Mentorship
Our partnering Dell Medical Students serve as mentors to 1st and 2nd year members allowing for the open exchange of resources and knowledge valuable for any pre-health student. Having this mentorship aspect in our organization brings about productive relationships and connections that benefit both the mentor and the mentee.
Volunteer Work
Through our variety of volunteer opportunities, we seek to create a meaningful impact on the lives of many undeserved families in the Austin area. Some of our volunteer opportunities include working with the homeless populations at food pantries, teaching science at AISD schools, and engaging in community health through our partnership with Sickle Cell ATX.
