Consider Becoming A Part Of A Winning Relationship

Be a Mentor
The mentoring process
can prove to be a great
resource for any student
seeking to gain enrichment
that cannot be found in a
textbook, lab, or lecture. But, for
the student whose background
has afforded little or limited
access to the World of Healthcare
Professions, a mentoring relationship
is not just a great resource, it could
mean the difference between
success or failure.
The Wisdom of Experience
Becoming a mentor can be a great
way to build your volunteer resume,
identify potential colleagues, and most
of all give back to the community in a
way that will make a huge difference in
the life of another.
