Workshop Description

This workshop seeks to examine the pillars behind effective mentorship that may allow us to “break the cycle” that result in trainees’ experiences of lack of support to achieve their aspirational goals. The basic tenets of Communication, Expectations, the Responsibility of a Role Model, and Commitment will all be considered with provision of targeted instruments that may improve the tools necessary for an improved mentor-mentee relationship.
