Younger Fellows Mentoring Program

The Younger Fellows Committee are piloting a facilitated mentoring program open to all Fellows of the College within their first 10 years of gaining Fellowship.

Overview

Participants are encouraged to attend the mentoring program as part of the Annual Scientific Congress. Participants are also asked to participate in program evaluation.

Read about the mentoring program on page 24 of the December 2020 edition of Surgical News.

RACS has consulted with mentoring experts and reviewed the mentoring programs over a number of years in order to provide a practical toolkit for surgery.

In May 2016 RACS published Mentoring: A Practical Guide which provides clear guidance for mentors, mentees and establishing a mentoring relationship. Using this guide, the mentor and mentee are required to set specific guidelines for communication.

Application

We are now taking expressions of interest for the 2021 program. Please contact Molly Mckew at younger.fellows@surgeons.org for more information.
