At Samir Foundation, we believe in empowering young minds through guidance, learning, and shared experience. Our Mentorship Program connects motivated medical students and graduates from Palestine with experienced professionals who can support their personal, academic, and career growth.

Our program offers several formats to meet different needs.

• 1:1 Mentorship connects a single mentee with a well-qualified mentor who will provide personalized guidance throughout their journey. This track is highly competitive due to its individualized nature.
• Group Mentoring brings together multiple mentees who share similar career paths and goals, pairing them with a mentor who can offer collective guidance, insights, and direction about their chosen field.
