Apply by Friday to Participate in YFA Annual Mentor Program as Mentor or Mentee

The Young Fellows Association (YFA) is seeking applications from ACS members who would like to participate in the year-long YFA Mentorship Program.

Mentoring teams are composed of three people:

• Early career surgeon. An Associate Fellow (an ACS member out of training, but not yet a Fellow) or a young Fellow in practice less than 5 years, who traditionally will serve as a mentee in this triad relationship
• Mid-level career surgeon. A young Fellow (an ACS Fellow 45 years old or younger) who might serve as a mentor to the early career surgeon and a mentee alongside an advanced professional
• Advanced professional. An ACS Fellow who holds a leadership position within the ACS or an ACS Fellow who has been practicing for more than 10 years

The team will meet their triad at Clinical Congress 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts, for lunch on Tuesday, October 24. The mentorship relationship will extend from October 2023 through October 2024.

The YFA seeks both Mentors and Mentees. Visit the YFA web page for more details and to access links for the Mentor and Mentee applications. The deadline to apply is Friday, August 18.
