Student Mentoring
Student mentoring by program faculty is designed to provide each student with the support necessary to achieve academic success and professional development in the program. During the Clinical Phase, student mentoring occurs in person or via phone or videoconferencing and is scheduled to have the least impact on the student’s clinical responsibilities for SCPEs. Students are assigned a faculty mentor for the Didactic and Clinical Phases of the program.
Students meet with their assigned Didactic Phase faculty mentor early in the first semester in the Didactic Phase to develop their plan to achieve academic success and professional development in the Program. Students continue to meet with their assigned Didactic Phase faculty mentor at least once every semester to review and revise their plan as necessary. During the Clinical Phase and prior to graduation, students meet with Clinical Phase faculty for mentoring and to determine a plan for ongoing self-assessment, self-directed learning, scholarship, service, and leadership
