Mentorship

Connect with
the right mentor.

1:1 mentor matching with clinicians, AI researchers, and clinical informaticians who guide you into AI in medicine — as a career, a specialty, or a research pathway.

How It Works

The IAMSA mentorship model.

01
Apply as Mentee
Complete the mentee application — your interests, goals, year of study, and areas you want guidance in.
02
Get Matched
IAMSA matches you 1:1 with a mentor based on specialty interest, career goals, and availability.
03

One 30–60 min virtual meeting per month. Structured agenda templates provided by IAMSA to make the most of each session.
04
Build Your Path
Get career guidance, research introductions, and a clear roadmap for AI in your clinical specialty.
Who Can Apply

Three mentee tracks.

🎓

Clinical AI Career Track

For students who want to build a career at the intersection of medicine and AI — clinical informatics, health tech, academic clinical fellow pathways, and industry roles.

🔬

Research Track

For students aiming to publish AI research — from systematic reviews to clinical trials. Mentors guide you from question formulation to submission and peer review.

💊

Clinical Literacy Track

For students who want to understand and critically appraise AI tools they'll encounter as doctors — without a research or career focus. Pure clinical fluency.
