Hello SSHP Members!

Are you interested in becoming a mentor to an incoming P1 student???

This is a great way to meet the incoming class, share your knowledge, and pay it forward! This is also something you are able to mention on your CV and expand upon at residency interviews, job applications, etc.

This is a flexible mentorship where you and your mentor decide what works best for both of your needs.

To better match mentors to mentees, we have created a short survey for you to fill out. If you know the name of an incoming P1 that you would like to be matched with, please provide that student's name in the survey.

We will have you and your mentee meet at our SSHP BBQ on August 21st from 5-7pm in Tucson and August 22nd from 5-7pm in Phoenix. There will be food, music, and fun! We would really love to see you there and we know that the incoming P1s would really appreciate your guidance and support!

Come hang out for some great food, music, and company!
We hope to see you all there. 😄
