The Mentor Program (MP) aims to support students in their academic and professional progression through the curriculum. The professional mentor meets with approximately fifteen (15) students at the beginning of term one (1) and during the mandatory professional skills sessions (1-2 per term). Faculty will rotate and will have only one group to follow for 2-3 years, depending on the number of groups and the number of faculty. Professional mentors are required to meet with the students in the first three (3) weeks of the term and can schedule impromptu meetings initiated by the mentor, the student, or as recommended by the APRC or the FPP at any time during the student's tenure at SGU SVM.
Mentors are provided with training for their role and PS group guidance. Students will meet their mentors at the Professional Attributes Workshop (PAWS) luncheon on day 2 of the program.
