PUMP at UCLA

Pre-Med Undergraduate Mentorship Program

Fall 2026 Event Schedule:

9/24/26 @ 6pm: Boba social in Westwood

The Pre-med Undergraduate Mentorship Program (PUMP) is a multifaceted organization that provides opportunities for leadership experience to upperclassmen through mentoring and program administration, as well as providing guidance and support to underclassmen pursuing a pre-medicine track. The goal of the program is to create a more inclusive environment by utilizing approachable undergraduate mentors and developing a more personal mentor-mentee relationship. There will be a certain number of mentees assigned to a single mentor that will be available to advise them during scheduled office hours that also serve as a study period. Approaching mentoring with low mentor to mentee rations is what develops the close relationships, and employing undergraduates, who are more relatable than graduate students or professors, creates a more affable environment. Furthermore, we hope to form relationships with other pre-health organizations to create a network for internship and research opportunities. Lastly, we hope to have guest speakers in the medical industry speak about their professions as well as run workshops catering to the needs of the pre-medical undergraduate students of UCLA.
