How it works

Two ways to reach a mentor.

1

Discover a mentor

Filter by career, specialty, stage, location, and the kind of guidance you're looking for. No account needed to browse.

2

Request a conversation

Adults with a mentee account send a short intro. If the mentor accepts, you talk on Health Mentors, text only, and neither of you sees the other's email address.

3

Or send one email introduction

Prefer email? Send a one-time introduction instead. The mentor receives your message and your email address, and any reply comes to your inbox.

Conversations on Health Mentors
Messages stay on Health Mentors and are visible only to the two of you. We don't monitor conversations in real time; staff read one only if one of you reports it.
Email introductions
Replies continue over regular email. Health Mentors does not host or monitor what happens next.

Browse by specialty

Start with a path you're curious about.

Why we built this

Guidance shouldn't depend on who you already know.

Health Mentors began with the gap students face in rural, tribal, and underserved communities. The directory is national and includes every kind of health career—so an honest conversation is always within reach.

  • Only verified professionals appear publicly.

  • You choose who to reach out to — no algorithm deciding who you hear from.

  • Every request goes to a mentor who is open to new mentees, and the mentor decides whether to accept.

  • Built with rural, tribal, and first-generation students in mind.

Access to a guide should not depend on geography or family connections.
