Mentorship and Coaching

» American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) Mentor Survey

This program hopes to connect DGSOM female-identifying medical students to women physicians at all levels of their career. Our hope is that mentors and mentees will meet at least once (over phone, Zoom, etc.) Whether or not you choose to continue further conversations or longitudinal mentorship, and how you choose to do so, is completely up to you and your mentee.

» English-language coaching

Clear communication is a necessity in healthcare. Non-native speakers of English working in a clinical or research setting may find it personally and professionally rewarding to improve their communication skills (American English pronunciation; note writing; report writing; professional presentations; etc.) by working directly with an English-language trainer.
