Testimonials
Uktarsh Sarup
4th Year Medical Student
Pulse has allowed me to connect with other professionals with such ease. Whether you are networking, looking for a mentor, or wanting to be a mentor, the connection happens seamlessly. Once I was introduced to my mentee, we connected and it was such a great pairing! The connections are meaningful and impactful with genuine professionals.
Kayla Abrego
PGY-1 Resident
Coming from a family with very little collegiate background, navigating the many wonders of premed was hard. When I heard of Pulse, I was immediately convinced. All of the mentors are kind and helpful. They will answer even the wildest questions! Having a knowledgeable mentor during your premed years is crucial and Pulse is full of them!
Theodore Massou
Premed Student
Having a mentor who is familiar with the medical school application process is great since they understand how the PS needs to answer why medicine. Their feedback about bridging medicine + diversity was especially helpful in helping me verbalize my passion. In my opinion, navigating secondaries/ primaries is the most difficult part of the premed process so having a mentor to edit/advise on that aspect is probably where a mentor could most actively help. For that, Pulse was a huge help in being able to provide that very mentor.
Kareena Singh
Premed StudentI’m incredibly grateful for the support I received from my mentors at Pulse while working on my application for a summer research internship. Their guidance not only gave me clarity but truly helped bring my entire application together. I don’t think I would’ve felt as confident without it. I am proud to say that I did officially secure the spot as well!
Kimela Fongeh
Premed Student
Pulse has turned my dreams of medical school into reality by allowing me to talk to real-time medical school students. These students have helped talk me through what it’s like to go into medicine, which humanizes the daunting process. I have appreciated hearing about the different stories and perspectives, which creates community in a profession that can otherwise feel cut-throat and isolating.

How does mentorship work on Pulse?
Mentorship on Pulse is built around personalized matching to make the experience meaningful on both sides. Users create dedicated mentee and/or mentor profiles that highlight their goals, interests, strengths, and areas where they’re seeking support or offering guidance.

- If you’re a mentor, you’ll have the ability to set your preferences on how you’d like to support others—whether through one-time guidance, longitudinal mentorship, or topic-specific support. You’ll also be able to discover mentees who align with your expertise and values and connect with them directly.
