The PHM fellowship mentoring program aims to establish at least one formal mentoring relationship as a resource to fellows. Fellows are asked to choose a mentor from the list below in January of their first year, whom they will meet with at least quarterly for the duration of their fellowship. We recognize that mentors can play a variety of roles during your career and even personal life and therefore encourage our fellows to have multiple mentors.
