EWHC Mentor Program

As a part of our #here4youEWHC efforts in 2019, EWHC will launch our Mentor Program in July. This new initiative provides an opportunity for early careerists, mid-careerists, and seasoned professionals to connect with others in the healthcare industry.

Mentorship is often cited as the most impactful tool that women have had in helping them advance their careers, but there are challenges. Well-matched mentors who have the desire to help and the experience to make a difference can be a challenge to find, much less engage. To address this challenge, our EWHC Mentor Program is structured around small groups which will collectively support its members, knowing that wisdom will be shared and received by all.

Small groups members will be assigned based upon information shared in your application: http://bit.ly/EWHCMentorProgramApplication. Once matched, you and your small group can decide the right meeting and mentorship style for you. Whether it’s golf, a glass of wine, morning coffee, or a book club, anything goes in our modern mentorship program.

There are many advantages to this approach, including the following:

• Access: a phenomenal group of women engaged to participate
• Flexibility: customization of the curriculum, based upon the specific needs of the small group
• Convenience: meeting times and locations will be coordinated by the small group
• Privacy: participants are not internal to the organization where you work
• Diversity of Thinking: participants will come from a variety of healthcare organizations

The Mentor Program is an exclusive benefit to EWHC members. Not a member yet? Sign up here: http://bit.ly/EWHCMembership

Our July kick-off meeting will allow all participants to meet in person, provide details about the Mentor Program structure, and discuss the results of your DiSC Personality Test. DiSC is a behavior assessment tool being generously shared as a part of your enrollment fee by our committee member, Karen Valencic. You will receive a separate email from Karen with an invitation to complete that assessment.

We look forward to your participation in this exciting program.
