Health & Life Sciences Mentorship Program for Winter Quarter – Application Now Open

Interested in a career where you can help others and make an impact on the health and well-being of individuals in the Seattle area and beyond? There are a broad range of non-clinical opportunities in health and life science, many of which do not require advanced degrees.  Join our mentorship program to learn more about non-clinical roles such as: 1) Research & Development / Scientist / Technician, 2) Administration / Management / Operations, 3) Human Resources / Recruiting / Staff Development, and 4) Customer Service / Client Support.  We are piloting identity-based matching for students who identify as People of Color and/or LGBTQIA+. Depending on preferences and mentor availability, students will have the opportunity to be matched with a mentor that shares their identity(s) or similar life experiences.

Application Criteria:
