MWAZ – Mentorship Program

Our Mentorship Program

The Mentorship Program has been very insightful and enlightening. It was a great way to connect doctors and medical students from all over the country and abroad. As distance is never a barrier, meetings were held physically and virtually through Zoom, Google Meet and other online platforms.

The mentees described the sessions as very well organised and very informative as they contained information that was relevant and easy to understand.

Aside from the exclusive sessions between mentor and mentee, MWAZ held group sessions every Saturday at 18hrs, moderated by Dr. Christabel Mbiza.
