Mentorship for the Ages: Tools for Career Development for Early, Mid-stage, and Experienced Practitioners

The pharmacy profession is experiencing attrition at a higher rate than ever before, with clinical pharmacists challenged to do more with fewer resources. Mentors can play a key role in supporting clinical pharmacists throughout their career. However, finding a mentor and getting the most out of the relationship can be challenging for clinicians at all stages of their career including early, mid, and late-stage clinicians. This program aims to provide clinicians with guidance on how to identify an ideal mentor and maximize their mentor-mentee relationship. The goal of this program is to discuss the roles and outputs of a mentoring relationship spanning both skill transfer to psychosocial domains from early to later career stages.
