Have you ever had a new job?  Have you ever had an expectation of what the orientation process would look like? Ever expect mentorship and didn’t get it?  Me too!

The primary reason I was in search of a residency 4 years into my career, was because I was search of mentorship. I wanted to be challenged, I wanted to be guided, I wanted to be a better mentor.

I truly believe mentorship is a progression and it should be structured and it should be evolving.

What does mentorship mean to you?

Tune in, to talk about mentorship, dig in to expectations and of course a bit of storytelling.
