Mentoring

The primary objective of Science Runway is to support and mentor young women who are interested in healthcare and STEM-related careers. Our mentor cohort is a diverse group of female healthcare leaders, spanning the provider, clinician, biopharmaceutical, patient advocate, technology, medical device, diagnostic, and policymaking ecosystems. Mentors meet with the students virtually to discuss their career path, the challenges and opportunities they face as female professionals, and what they do on a daily basis.
