Peer mentoring scheme
This was recently launched in the School of Pharmacy for Level 1 MPharm International students. It has been developed by fellow international students who considered it important that such a scheme was provided by the School. It is being offered to Level 1 international students instead of the buddy scheme because we appreciate that international students may have different needs to non-international students, particularly in the first few months of starting university.
Mentoring is a way to support and encourage people to manage their own learning and development, so that they may fulfil their potential. We therefore strongly encourage all Level 1 MPharm international students to avail of this service. The mentors have undertaken the official training provided by the University and one of our peer mentors won a university ‘peer mentor of the year’ award (2015) and a NI Healthcare Student Leadership award (2016). Another graduate mentor was invited to present her work on mentoring at a leading pharmacy practice conference in September 2015.
Various events will be scheduled to occur throughout the year. Further information about this scheme will be provided via email, however, the mentors will primarily communicate about events and meetings directly via their Facebook page.
Academic co-ordinators: Dr Lezley-Anne Hanna and Dr Raj Thakur
Peer mentors: Christine Chan, Chuting Ng, Connie Leong, Deanna Lim, Ee Cheak Kueh, Feng Quan Khor, Genevieve Lim, Ha Nguyen, Jiexi Toh, Joey Lim, Leon Fong, Lynn Ooi, Madhanraj Kumar Subash, Rachel Pang, Sharon Tan, Sze Ing Wong, Tiffany Ting, Timothy Lam, Walter Wong, Winnie Ling and Zoe Ooi.
Lead mentors: Connie Leong, Walter Wong and Leon Fong
