PRIMe Mentoring is a series of Career Advising Dinners for Underrepresented in Medicine (URiM) medical students. These dinners allow students (Mentees) to gain knowledge, build a support network, and strengthen the sense of community with URiM Faculty and House Staff (Mentors). Mentors serve as panel experts on predetermined topics, sharing their knowledge and experiences while leaving plenty of time for questions and dialogue. Mentees benefit from interacting with professionals who can relate to and validate their experiences. Mentors rotate attendance based on availability and content familiarity and provide Mentees with valuable insight and exposure to the larger professional URiM community at UAB. All mentor dinners are open to URiM faculty, residents, fellows, and staff, and they are encouraged to attend. All sessions are in-person and will take place in Volker Hall, 3rd floor, room 302, 5:30 p.m.-7 p.m. with the following schedule:
5:30 – 6 pm: meet and greet (dinner)
6 pm – 7 pm: presentation, panel, or discussion with our content expert(s)
