Academic Mentorship Program

Program Overview People News Publications Presentations
Program Overview
The Academic Mentorship Program (AMP) was founded in 2022 as a resident-led initiative to promote resident, student and faculty engagement in scholastic activities. The goals of the program include:
  • Provide an enriching academic environment for faculty members, residents and medical students 
  • Create a robust system in which teams can produce publishable work in a timely manner 
  • Connect key stakeholders at various stages of their academic career
  • Familiarize residents with increasing leadership and responsibility in academic practices
Projects supported by the mentorship program benefit from the scientific insights of experienced academic faculty, administrative support from the resident and student chiefs, as well as a growing library of reference materials. This has been a highly successful program that has led to an unprecedented increase in resident and student participation in peer-reviewed publications and presentations at national conferences.
