Share Experience With Younger Colleagues
APA members are encouraged to join the National Minority Mentors Network
and become mentors to younger colleagues. Those who are interested in doing so
and are coming to APA's 2008 annual meeting in Washington, D.C., are invited
to attend the mentor orientation breakfast for current fellows and medical
students on Sunday, May 4, from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. Hosting the event is the
Selection Advisory Committee for the minority fellowships.
Mentors play an important role in the professional growth and development
of beginning psychiatrists and are critical to fostering successful careers in
psychiatry and ensuring the field's future success. In return, the network
provides an opportunity for APA members to share their hard-earned wisdom and
experience with minority residents and medical students.
The breakfast provides an informal setting for fellows and medical students
to network with mentors. A large number of residents and medical students are
expected to attend. To make this a worthwhile and enjoyable activity, the
commitment and support of APA members are urgently needed.
Those interested in joining or obtaining additional information
about the network should contact Marilyn King at (703) 907-8653 or
mking{at}psych.org.
Reservations for the breakfast may also be made by contacting King.
