The KALA Clerkship Mentoring Program was really helpful in providing guidance as to how to go about the tough and rigorous clerkship process.

I personally found this period to be quite daunting, but with this program providing useful insight on how to write a cover letter as well as how to conduct yourself in an interview, I felt more at ease. In particular, I really enjoyed how this program encouraged students to ask any questions that they might have (even if they were minor questions). It was especially helpful to speak to mentors such as Una Kim who was able to tell us about her experiences when she was doing clerkships and provide realistic advice on how she overcame some major challenges during this period.
