POFPS Mentor Program

POFPS Mentor Program

Make Connections. Make a Friend.

Make a Difference.

POFPS’s Mentor Program facilitates meaningful partnerships amongst attendings, residents and medical students throughout the year. Because goals and dreams can change throughout one’s career, participants in the mentor program can be a mentor, mentee or both.
