Welcome!

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Alumni Connect Program is an online easy-to-use platform designed to cultivate meaningful mentorship opportunities for the global ISMMS community. Students and alumni can use the platform to connect with alumni in various career fields. Alumni from all class years, programs, and schools may participate as volunteer advisors and hosts. These advising relationships are meant to provide valuable support and guidance to student advisees as they navigate their careers, explore new career paths, or pursue other educational endeavors.

How It Works

• The program is open to students and alumni from all class years, programs, and schools.
• Participants must register by logging onto the mentorship program’s easy-to- use online platform and completing a profile, which takes 10 to 15 minutes.
• Alumni participate as advisors and hosts. Students may participate as advisees.
• Alumni Advisors may accept up to three advisees at a time; advises may have up to two Alumni advisors at once.
• Student advisees are then able to search for and request a mentor who best matches their career interests.
• Alumni advisors may either accept or decline a mentorship request.
• Alumni Advisors remain offline until the connection is accepted. Once mutually established, the advisor-advisee pair then agree on goals and communication preferences, including whether they’ll speak by phone or meet in person and how often they’ll connect, whether it's once or multiple times throughout the year. In certain instances the Alumni advisor may agree to host an advisee in their home for residency/employment interviews.
