OMA Mentorship Program
Connect with obesity medicine clinicians when you join the OMA Mentorship Program: share your knowledge as a mentor or gain practical insights as a mentee.
What is the OMA Mentorship Program?
The mentorship program connects experienced clinicians with those newer to the field to provide advice and guidance for building a career in obesity medicine. This is a good way to stay up to speed on tried-and-true treatment and business practices. OMA staff will do our best to match you up with a mentor/mentee based on your needs/expertise, geographic area and preferred pairing type.
Program Requirements
- All mentors and mentees must be current OMA members.
- Minimum commitment of at least a three month period, but pairings can decide to extend that based on needs.
- Schedule at least one meeting per month with your mentor/mentee.
- Both participants will be asked to complete a short evaluation at the end of the three month initial commitment period.
