An APA signature program, Speed Mentoring, features 10-minutes structured conversations between mentees and mentors followed by a group goal-setting discussion. Speed Mentoring takes place at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) meeting, the Pediatric Hospital Medicine (PHM) meeting and regional meetings.
2027 Speed Mentoring at PHM in New Orleans, LA
Day/Time TBD!
How it Works
Mentees and Mentors
Mentors are APA members who have been in an academic faculty position for 8 years or longer.
Mentees include trainees (residents and fellows) and individuals who are in fellowship or within their first 6–7 years of an academic faculty position.
Mentees should come to the session with questions prepared to make the most of their 10-minute mentor session. Both mentee and mentor CVs will be shared via email prior to the event to help facilitate conversation; however, participants are encouraged to bring a copy as well.
The final number of mentees and mentors will be determined by registration.
