Peer mentoring scheme
This was 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 three of our peer mentors have won university ‘peer mentor of the year’ awards (2015, 2017 and 2018) and NI Healthcare Student Leadership recognition (2016 winner and 2018 finalist). Another graduate mentor was invited to present her work on mentoring at a leading pharmacy practice conference.
Various events will be scheduled to occur throughout the year. The mentors will primarily communicate about events and meetings directly via their Facebook page.
Peer mentors: Christine Chan, Deanna Lim, Ee Cheak Kueh, Gwendoline Thong Chern, Jiexi Toh, Leon Fong (LEAD MENTOR), Li Hao Yap (LEAD MENTOR), Luke Abraham, Lynn Ooi, Madhanraj Kumar Subash, Rachel Pang, Timothy Lam, Walter Wong (LEAD MENTOR) and Wang Cheung Lui.
Academic co-ordinator: Dr Lezley-Anne Hanna
