Prescribe it Forward: Paving a Path Towards Mentorship for All

Abstract

Inspired by his own unique path into the field of medicine, Aaron Gilani developed and lead a team of students to start Prescribe it Forward. This innovative platform connects current premedical students from across the country to mentors willing to provide support to these future medical students. After completing his business degree while studying and applying to medical school, Gilani looked to apply his background in business to this nonprofit organization dedicated to mentorship in the medical field. Now a current fourth year medical student at Indiana University, Gilani is pushing the limits in student-led mentorship and has connected over 2,100 premedical students with respective mentors.
