[mdphd] Getting involved - need student mentors ASAP

[Andrea Cifonelli]

We are all set for student mentors and the SURF Panel. Thank-you!

Also, please let me know if you are interest in connecting with alumni. There is interest in an MDPhD alumni panel and I would need help with outreach.

MDPhD Social Committee:
Please let me know if you’re interested. We are looking for a person who would enjoy organizing HH here and there and other fun things, as needed.

Alumni Connection Committee:
Please let me know if you are interest in connecting with alumni. There is interest in an MDPhD alumni panel. Committee members could help the program stay connected to alumni and host alumni panels. We already have one student interested so one or two more would be helpful.

Best,
Andrea

Subject: Getting involved - need student mentors ASAP
Good afternoon,

We are 5 new students arriving and the SURF program starting in a few weeks and I am still looking for student mentors, another person for the SURF MDPhD panel and someone to head a MDPhD Social Committee.

Student mentors:
Opeyemi- Olivia
Katie – Kevin
Kailey - ?
Saisha- ?
Tracy- ?

Connecting with your student mentee before they arrive June 3rd. There are three students I am still trying to match to peer student mentors with. See above list.
Having lunch with your mentee after their HR Orientation on June 3rd (lunch on 9th floor WH at 11:30)
Meeting formally with your mentee and myself in my office once over the summer in June or July. We will review a check-list of new student questions/concerns and decide if any specific supports are required (before med-school begins).
Meeting formally another time in the fall (with or without me, depending on what is needed to discuss).
Meeting informally on an at-need basis throughout your mentee’s first year of training

SURF MDPhD Panel:
1PM June 20th (with lunch)

MDPhD Social Committee:
Just someone who would enjoy organizing HH here and there and other fun things, as needed.

Thanks!

Best,
Andrea
