The mentoring component, carried out by the Association of Resident Physicians, ensures the allocation of a mentor (most often a resident doctor) to every RHSP student. The component assisted 358 Roma students, who worked with around 50 mentors. After seven years of implementation of the RHSP programme, we have three specialist doctors, ten resident doctors in prestigious medical centers (Bucharest, Targu Mures, Iasi, Timisoara, Craiova, Brasov) and one expert in public health in the World Bank, Washington D.C.
2014 - 2015
In this period, 45 Roma students benefitted from the mentorship component. They worked with their mentors towards achieving academic excellence.
2011 - 2013
During this period the project was financed by the European Social Fund and the Romanian Government under the name “A generation of Roma professionals in the medical field” and it represented an extension of each component’s activities. The results of this period are:
- 160 Roma students were mentored,
- 126 voluntary health projects were implemented by the students in Roma communities;
- 1636 members of Roma communities benefitted from the voluntary health projects;
- 43 academic papers published by the grantees;
- 67 Roma students participated in seminars, conferences, and national and international congresses;
- 69 students enrolled in foreign languages courses.
