Summary: The increasing global cancer burden highlights the need for more oncologists, however, undergraduate medical curricula and oncology mentorship programs are lacking in providing adequate exposure to oncology. This study established an undergraduate oncology society-led mentorship program to increase medical students' exposure to oncology in the UK. The mentorship program resulted in a significant increase in students' knowledge of multidisciplinary team and oncology-related specialties, but did not lead to increased interest in pursuing a career in oncology.
