Space is limited, registration is free, so reserve your spot today!

Here are some testimonials from some of our mentees:

“I worked in a small practice so if it wasn’t for the POCN program, I would have NEVER met my mentor who comes from an academic institution in a different part of the country. I learned so much from my mentor who helped prepare me for my current role as an NP in a cardiology practice.” – A.K.

“It was refreshing to be with like-minded people. I felt safe to share some of my frustrations at work and know that I have a trusted group of peers to talk about ways to overcome work challenges.” – K.R.

“Our mentoring group was so supportive of each other – some of us have met up live and we’ve kept in touch even after the program ended!” – L.G.

Your journey awaits! Limited slots are available.

Mentors

Mentoring relationships are a shared opportunity for learning and growth. The mentor-mentee relationship is just as rewarding for the mentor as it is for the mentee. As an NP/PA mentor, your professional and/or clinical experience will serve as an invaluable resource to mentees who are looking for direction in their professional development or who need a trusted advisor to help them cope with the challenges they face in their profession. Mentors display leadership qualities – playing critical roles in increasing knowledge, assisting in defining and setting realistic goals and expectations, and offering feedback and guidance – to enhance professional growth.

There are a limited number of paid mentor opportunities, which require a commitment to mentor a group of 1 to 5 mentees for at least 9 months (from June 2024 through February 2025).
