Mentorship Program

FSP Mentorship Program

The FSP Mentorship Program is designed to connect FSP Resident and Fellow members with experienced pathologists that are members of the FSP. The program provides mentees an opportunity to interact with pathology experts from diverse backgrounds, practice settings, and geographic regions, as well as the opportunity to gain valuable guidance and career advice to help during the transition from training to practice.

Mentees are matched with Mentors based on the information gathered through the application process. Mentees can also select up to three mentor candidates from the list of FSP Mentors.

The mentorship relationship is expected to last the duration of the Mentee’s training.

Goals of the Mentorship Program

Provide long lasting professional relationships that last beyond the program
Provide opportunities for personal, professional and leadership development
Provide opportunities for residents and fellows to grow within the FSP and to serve in FSP leadership roles

Expectations of the Mentorship Program

Establish the preferred communication channel and frequency in which you will communicate
Commit to regular check-ins through preferred communication channel
Stay engaged during the length of the mentorship relationship
Meet in person one time a year at the FSP Conference in February during the Mentor Networking Event
