Annual TMA- and ACCME-accredited Mentorship Opportunity
What is it? This mentorship program is intended to support the professional development of CME professionals and volunteers, with the objectives to connect the CME community, reduce the silos of CME professionals and encourage expertise to be shared. Participants will be matched in either pairs or small groups.
When is it? Applications open annually, toward the end of the year. The program runs for the duration of the following year.
Who Should Apply? All individuals affiliated with an accredited CME program are welcome, including administrators and physician committee members! We are looking for both mentors and mentees. If you have 3+ years of experience in CME, we highly encourage you to consider being a mentor.
Am I qualified to be a mentor? If you can answer yes to the following…
Do I have some experience in accredited continuing education?
Am I a good listener?
Do I want to enhance my leadership skills?
…Then yes, please consider applying to be a mentor!
Can I be a mentor and a mentee? Yes! Just tell us you are interested in the application.
How much is it? There is no charge for participation in this program. The expectations will be that mentors and mentees will meet at least an hour once a month, that all participants are committed to meaningfully engage with each other, and that participants give us feedback at the end of the year when the program comes to a close.
What support will I have? The mentorship program is a collaboration with California, New York, Texas and Washington State Medical Societies. Once paired, mentors will receive an orientation. Both mentors and mentees will attend an informational webinar and are able to join quarterly office hours to discuss questions with other CME professionals.
How do I apply? An application will be sent toward the end of the year.
We are so excited to share this opportunity. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
