The Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery (SCTS) is proud to announce the launch of its Medical Student Mentorship Programme, with the aim to inspire and support medical students interested in a career in cardiothoracic surgery.
The programme is an opportunity for medical students, at any stage of their university course, who are aspiring for a career in cardiothoracic surgery, to develop a mentoring relationship with a cardiothoracic surgical trainee or clinical fellow.
The mentorship programme will allow the mentee to gain support and advice on a number of areas, including career development, achieving work-life balance, sub-specialty training, working less-than-full-time, research and academic collaborations, and leadership development, as well as networking opportunities.
The expectations of the mentees and mentor will be:
- Generation of an action plan with specific goals identified in career development, research collaboration or leadership development, as appropriate.
- Meeting for 1 hour every month via a video conferencing platform, for a 12-month period (or beyond if both parties were in agreement).
- Attendance at the Medical Student Mentoring Programme Networking Session at the Annual Meeting
Interested mentees and mentors should submit a brief CV and a completed application form to Isabelle Ferner (isabelle@scts.org).
Applicants to the programme must be an SCTS member.
