Team to Spearhead Mentorship
Representing wide reach within the Academy
Members have been recruited to the new subcommittee to coordinate and grow the Academy’s mentorship initiatives.
The Academy Board at its July meeting gave the go-ahead to the new structure. Previously, the trainee mentorship program was coordinated by the Residency Education Subcommittee.
But mentorship requests have grown significantly over the past few years—so much that a separate team behind it was needed, incorporating mentorship’s wide reach within the Academy.
