The Benefits of Mentoring Students
Whether mentoring a student first embarking on their career exploration journey or in the midst of a clinical internship, sharing your time with students is a great way to give back to your community and be part of the growth of young professionals. Students enrolled in work-based learning programs for healthcare careers benefit tremendously from the guidance of attentive and supportive industry mentors.
Mentors help students strategize and plan for career decisions, network with other healthcare professionals, draft resumes, and much more. Mentors also find the experience personally rewarding, being able to learn from their mentees and take pride in being part of their mentee’s accomplishments.

These “Mentoring Basics” tools are designed to help you get started as a mentor, offering guidance on best practices for mentor-mentee relationships, particularly in the context of work-based learning.
