Welcome to Speed Mentoring
A space where learning, guidance and connection come together to shape the future of radiation oncology.
Speed Mentoring is back! The event will feature a series of one-on-one, 10-minute sessions, where mentees will have the opportunity to meet with experts from a wide range of backgrounds and specialties. Come prepared with specific questions you would like to discuss.
Looking for Guidance?
If you're looking for guidance, you can explore topics like:
- Choosing your career path in radiation oncology
- What to expect during residency
- Developing leadership and communication skills
- Navigating the match process
Offering Mentorship?
If you're offering mentorship, you'll have the chance to:
- Share your journey and lessons learned
- Support and encourage the next generation
- Build meaningful professional connections
- Gain fresh perspectives and new energy from emerging professionals
Every mentoring relationship is different — and that's what makes it meaningful. Together, mentors and mentees can set goals, exchange ideas and find direction that fits where they are and where they hope to go.
How Speed Mentoring Works
