1-Orientation Day 24-25

On October 2nd, 2024, HMSA held Orientation Day for new students. The event featured an HMSA 101 session introducing students to the association and its role. There were also six booths for students to visit, including five for different committees and one for our divisions. This setup helped new students meet current members, learn about each committee and division, and find ways to get involved. Overall, it was a great day that built a sense of community and excitement for the new students.

The Mentorship Program is the obligatory pre-membership education program, constituting a prerequisite for HMSA membership.

It is a dynamic and holistic initiative aimed at guiding HMSA-Helwan's new members through their journey of engagement. This year, the program is structured around the members' engagement cycle, encompassing mentoring, capacity-building, and guidance to empower new members to become active contributors to the development of our Association.

Additionally, it fosters self-awareness regarding their strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.

We managed to conduct about 131 one-to-one interviews through the first wave, and 4 group interviews through the second wave with each group consisting of 40 new members and 2 mentors.
