Mentorship

Faculty advisors are assigned to resident trainees upon their matriculation into the residency program. Residents and assigned faculty advisors are expected to meet one-on-one at least twice yearly. Topics to be reviewed include clinical performance, professionalism, wellness issues, research opportunities, and university networking opportunities. Subsequent mentor relationships develop organically over the early years of trainees' time in the program. 

Resident Portfolio Review

Residents are expected to maintain a Residency Portfolio throughout the duration of their training. This is reviewed by program leadership twice annually in order to ensure that residents meet their expected milestones throughout residency and are prepared to make the most of their elective time. Finally, these portfolio reviews provide an opportunity for formal career mentorship as residents plan for the transition to post-graduate fellowship training and subsequent employment.
