Inspired Mentorship

It was a really joyful experience,” says Lodenquai, a San Jose, California, high school student, of his role as a MiR. “I went through this program once, and then now as a MiR, I was able to see the other students having the same reactions as I did when listening to [ePatients’] testimonies.”
