What are the aims of the magazine?

Our aim is to inspire and inform applying healthcare students on the latest topical issues in the medical, veterinary and dentistry professions.

This will prepare students for their university application and contribute to their ongoing studies.

We aim to challenge readers’ opinions and enable them to question the information pertaining to healthcare that they may face in the wider media.

Using reflections and insights from successful applicants and current university students, we aim to share inspiration on healthcare and university applications.

We also provide an invaluable platform for applying healthcare students to publish their own articles or artwork. Students receive expert mentoring from our editorial team to produce articles that are of a high standard to be published in our national magazine. It is an opportunity for students to publish their original work and to share reflections, experiences and wider reading to inspire other students in the run up to and during their application process.

What do you receive with your subscription?

Mentor is a quarterly print anthology that is written by Medic Mentor university scholars, our team of chief mentors and outstanding qualified doctors, veterinarians and dentists, and by applying healthcare students. It will cover the latest wider reading in the medical, veterinary and dentistry professions and the ‘One Health’ approach that unites these healthcare disciplines. We will also publish the winner of the national essay competition for applying students and will publish the winning artwork entry on the front cover.

In between each of the printed quarterly publications, we also release our smaller online issues every month straight to your inbox! These include even more articles and artwork to challenge and inspire our readers.
