Our mentorship program pairs you with experienced mentors who volunteer their time to help you enhance your skills and knowledge. Whether you are a seasoned professional seeking to give back or a newcomer eager to learn, we strive to provide an informal but structured and effective program.
It is open to all AAOP members including students, researchers, physical therapists, and general dentists. Any member can choose to be a mentor, mentee, or both- we all have plenty to learn and plenty to teach.
Unlock your potential with
- Personalized guidance: connect in -person or virtually with mentors from diverse backgrounds and expertise.
- Skill development: valuable insights and practical advice. Discuss sample cases, controversial topics, and ethical dilemmas.
- Networking opportunities: lasting relationships for career development As a mentee, what is expected?
As a mentee, what is expected?
In a span of 9 months, our mentorship program asks for a sliver of your time, approximately 2 weeks of active participation to complete an activity of your choice. Consider this a staycation from your busy schedule to recharge. The rest of the time, you can control how much time you dedicate to your growth! Once paired, mentees are expected to initiate the relationship. Mentees and mentors mutually agree upon the frequency and nature of their meetings.
Meanwhile, let us meet up at a kickoff and conclusion reception at the annual scientific meeting and engage daily or as often as we want through the WhatsApp forum to share our collective experiences.
We are in this together! Sincerely,
Seema Kurup
Chair: Mentorship Program
