The Mentorship Committee is responsible for establishing and maintaining an official mentorship program within AMSRO. We collaborate with the Education and Training Subcommittee of AsMA to support speed mentoring events at the annual conference. We were proud to launch a longitudinal mentorship program this past year which paired mentors in government, academia, and industry with mentees to meet one on one. We hope to promote this program’s strength and have a new round of mentor matching every year.

Committee Objectives

This year the committee will increase outreach efforts and run the second annual AMSRO Diversity Scholarship/Mentorship program. They are building on the research from last year's AsMA panel in order to publish in AMHP, gather current field data, and develop actionable benchmarks to support diversity, equity, and inclusion. They will continue to hold online events to increase access in addition to other initiatives, and they hope to receive more interest and new ideas and suggestions from the community.
