Mentorship in Inclusion and Diversity (MIND)
|
The AMP mentoring families were originated in 2013 as another way to enhance and support our URiM community. Mentoring families are composed of 10-15 members who are a mix of talented URiM medical students, residents, fellows, and attending faculty with a wide range of interests and accomplishments from both Penn Medicine and CHOP. The overarching goal is to provide a vertical and horizontal mentoring system so family members can serve as a source of encouragement, be a support network, and contribute to each member’s professional development throughout the year.
In 2020, the mentoring families initiative was renamed Mentoring In Inclusion and Diversity (MIND). MIND’s mission statement is to foster families of underrepresented minorities in medicine at all levels and empower them to succeed in their personal and professional lives. We hold several events throughout the year where we tackle relevant topics for URiM physicians. Members love having small group discussions with their families, learning from each other, and sharing their experiences. |
