Apply for YFA Annual Mentorship Team Program by June 27

The Young Fellows Association (YFA) ACS is seeking applications from members of the College who would like to apply for 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 2022 in San Diego, CA, for lunch on Tuesday, October 18. The mentorship relationship will extend from October 2022 through October 2023.

The YFA seeks both Mentors and Mentees. Visit the Young Fellows Association web page for more details and to access links for the Mentor and Mentee applications.
