AMAT Mentorship Program

PURPOSE

The AMAT Mentoring Program is designed to connect AMAT members with experienced professionals in the donation and transplantation community. The career-related program establishes the mentor as a coach who provides advice to enhance the mentee’s professional performance and development, or improve upon the tools, knowledge and networks necessary to achieve their career goals. Mentors and mentees will be formally assigned, and we ask that they meet at least once a month.

DURATION

The mentoring program will begin in January and conclude at the annual conference in September.
