This is a program we established in 2006, pairing female medical students up with female physicians.  The goal is to help students find a person they can turn to for questions and advice about their futures in medicine.

 

We have designed the program so that it can be tailored to fit the schedules of students and their mentors.  The basic requirements are that the pairs are in contact via email/phone once a month and that they meet at least once or twice during each semester.   Once mentors have been recruited, we will hold an open house event to allow students to meet their mentors.  We will also host a Wine & Cheese event at the end of the school year that will honor everyone in the mentoring program as well as other female faculty members.

 

If you are a faculty member and are interested in becoming a mentoring next year, please contact Rebecca Wertman.
