Crafting the Future Doctor: Mentorship in the First Year of Medical School.

The Clinically Reimagined Apprenticeship For Physician Training (CRAFT) program is a volunteer, student-run, clinical mentorship program that started in 2015 at an academic medical center in the Mid-Atlantic region. Clinical exposure during the first year of medical school may influence a student's decision to pursue internal medicine for their residency program of choice. A retrospective chart analysis of CRAFT program volunteers was conducted.
