Mentorship & Career Planning

The residency has a formal Mentorship Program. Residents select their own faculty mentors after the first semester of the PGY-1 year so that they have had a chance to get to know faculty. Some residents meet very frequently with mentors while others meet only occasionally. It is really up to the residents’ desires and needs. The Mentorship Program also holds regular luncheons and after-hours optional sessions for our residents to gain career planning advice, ideas, and networking.

Career planning is encouraged early and regularly through the Mentorship Program, individual faculty advisors, and also during the semi-annual residency program director meeting with individual residents.
