UReTER Mentor Match
Resident/Fellow Mentorship
This mentorship model focuses more in guiding medical students on their SAU-AUA Match journey.
Each interested medical student shall choose to be match with (1) one available resident/fellow mentor from our roster.
Medical students can learn more about the volunteer mentors from the roster.
The matching process is on a first come, first serve basis.
UReTER Mentor Expectations
All UReTER Mentors are expected to:
- Initiate contact within one week of receiving mentee match information.
- Meet with mentee at least two times a month via Zoom, phone, socially distanced masked walk, etc.

Excellent Mentorship Strategies:
- Answer any application questions that mentees may have (ERAS, AUA match, interviewing)
- Offer to reach out to your Urology connections across the country on mentee’s behalf based on their geographical areas and institutions of interest
- Offer to proofread personal statements and share your own
- Share insight from your sub-internship experiences
- Practice interviewing over Zoom
- Share how you navigated the complicated process of choosing your rank list
- Career track guidance in the field
SAU-AUA Match Policy
In accordance with the SAU-AUA Match Policy, resident/ fellow mentors may not tell applicants how they will be ranked in their respective programs. In addition, SAU prohibits all communication with any member of a program (students/residents/faculty/admins/etc.) after the interview. In order to avoid any match violations, communication between mentors and medical students must stop once a student has their first interview. In order to align with these match rules, we recommend that mentors be proactive with advising earlier on in the application cycle.
