AII Mentoring Program
"I enjoyed getting to connect with someone who is not only in the same field, but who has had experience just far enough beyond my level of training/experience to help provide useful and relevant advice, but had sufficient real word experience to provide credible and useful knowledge." - Amber Oberle, MD
Goals
- Provide an avenue for junior faculty and trainee participation and networking in the AII Assembly.
- Foster hybrid mentoring connections through individualized attention based on areas of interest. Participants can connect virtually or at the ATS International Conference.
