AAMI's Mentorship Program


The AAMI mentorship program pairs AAMI members who are looking for guidance in particular interest areas with those who have expertise on a variety of health technology topics. The goals of the program are to help protégés develop the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed and grow in the health technology field; to provide a venue for them to discuss issues or concerns that are unique to health technology professionals; and to encourage long-term career planning.

Mentors and their protégés generally spend about an hour or two a month meeting in person, over the phone, or via e-mail, but the number and duration of meetings can vary depending on what works best for the pairing.

If you are interested in becoming part of this program, please complete either a mentorship form or a protégé form.
