The ABCDE Mentorship Program is a structured, one-on-one mentoring initiative designed to support Egyptian medical graduates pursuing residency or fellowship training in the United States. Through personalized sessions with experienced U.S.-based Egyptian physicians, the program offers guidance on every step of the application process—including personal statements, CVs, letters of recommendation, interview preparation, and career planning. It also provides a platform for mentors to give back by sharing their knowledge and experience with future colleagues.
The ABCDE Mentorship Program is open to anyone seeking guidance in pursuing medical training in the United States. While we welcome all applicants, priority is given to Egyptian medical graduates as part of our mission to support and uplift the Egyptian medical community. There are no strict eligibility criteria—if you’re looking for mentorship and are committed to your journey, we’re here to help.
Anyone with experience navigating the U.S. medical system—whether through residency, fellowship, or clinical practice—is welcome to join as a mentor. We value mentors who are not only knowledgeable but also committed to guiding and supporting others with sincerity and consistency. While prior mentoring experience is a plus, what matters most is your willingness to give back. All specialties and subspecialties are welcome, as we aim to provide diverse and comprehensive support to our mentees.
ur mentorship sessions are conducted through MentorSimply, a scheduling platform where mentors create a profile, set their availability, and link their Google Meet account. Mentees can browse mentor profiles, choose a suitable time slot, and book a 60-minute one-on-one session directly through the platform. Once booked, both mentor and mentee receive a confirmation with the meeting link. This structure ensures flexibility for mentors and a smooth, professional experience for mentees.
The starter package which includes one session costs 50$ per session.
Growth Package which includes four sessions costs 150$.
Mastery Package which includes six sessions costs 200$.
Currently, mentors do not receive direct payment for the one-on-one sessions.
However, we deeply value our mentors’ time and dedication, and we are actively exploring meaningful ways to recognize and compensate their contributions in the future. Our goal is to build a sustainable model that honors the generosity of our mentors while continuing to serve mentees effectively.
The fees collected from mentorship sessions are used to support the sustainability and growth of the ABCDE Mentorship Program and our nonprofit organization. In addition, a portion of the funds directly supports our Grant Award Program, which provides financial assistance to Egyptian medical graduates applying for residency in the U.S. Every session you book helps strengthen the community and uplift future physicians.
Signing up is simple:
- For Mentees: Visit our MentorSimply platform, browse available mentor profiles, and book a one-on-one session that fits your needs and schedule. You’ll be guided through the process step-by-step.
- For Mentors: Complete a short registration form to create your profile via Mentorsimply, set your availability, and link your Google Meet account. Once approved, your profile will go live and mentees can begin booking sessions with you.
