The interprofessional Faculty Mentorship Program connects faculty members with mentors from across Queen's Faculty of Health Sciences. The Mentorship Program's purpose is to serve as a reciprocal process for sharing experiences and to foster a trusting environment for career guidance and psychosocial support.
The objectives of the program are to:
- Cultivate personal and professional growth
- Facilitate reflective thinking
- Foster a collegial and trusting environment
The Mentorship Program includes a formal structure with defined learning objectives. Engaged participation in the program will advance the educational development of both Mentees and Mentors and will support an interprofessional learning atmosphere.
