The PULSE application is designed to get to know you better as a student and future healthcare professional. It includes questions about your interests, experiences, and perspectives. Additionally, the application collects information about your previous program participation, availability, and willingness to engage with a mentor virtually or in person. This helps us ensure the best possible mentor match and prepares you to take an active role in your PULSE mentorship experience.
