MENTORSHIP LUNCH FOR RESIDENTS/STUDENTS
We are hosting our fourth annual mentorship lunch for residents and students on Monday May 5. We will be selecting a limited number of interested CAPL members from diverse geographic and practice profiles to spend time with the residents and students during lunch to provide a forum in which learners can ask about the nuts and bolts of clinical, academic and administrative practice. Please forward your expression of interest to Dr. Victoria Roth at vicki.roth@islandhealth.ca to participate as a MENTOR, including your name, geographic location and practice profile by February 14, 2025.
