Practice Management

Being a Proactive Mentee a. Identify goals: Be clear about expectations, meeting plan, and professional development b. Actively participate in the process of finding a mentor: mentor should be a good match in terms of both personality and experience c. Being a proactive mentee: Take an active role in identifying and communicating needs, expectations, and opportunities as professionals-in-training d. Although a mentor can provide a unique and invaluable perspective, the mentor’s advice should not be accepted without reflection e. Be on the lookout for new mentors. Sometimes more than a single mentor is needed; this increase the scope of knowledge and expertise being handed down. Similarly, mentors may change or transition as the trainee’s career path evolves

Mentoring affects the personal and professional lives of the mentor and trainee. Successful mentoring requires awareness of appropriate practices, social responsibilities, and a sincere commitment from mentors and trainees. The mentoring relationship can clearly be rewarding for all parties involved.
