BOMSA Trauma & Orthopaedic National Mentorship Scheme 2024 - Mentee Recruitment Form
Thank you for your interest in joining the BOMSA mentorship scheme as a mentee.
About the scheme
With orthopaedic exposure in medical schools across the country being highly varied, many students have limited exposure to the field and struggle to find orthopaedic surgeons who can guide their learning and career aspirations. Through our mentorship scheme, we aim to pair enthusiastic medical students with orthopaedic surgeons who are keen to support and encourage them, to increase exposure, opportunities and outreach in orthopaedics.
As a mentee, you will have the opportunity to learn from the expertise and invaluable insights provided by mentors, to further your growth and professional development.
Who we are looking for?
• Medical students in any year group across UK medical schools (including intercalating and foundation year students)
• Those who are enthusiastic about furthering their personal and professional development
What we require from you?
• Commitment to the scheme for a minimum of 2 years.
• Meetings with your mentor at least once every 2 months (6 times a year) either online or face-to-face.
• Active engagement with the scheme, through setting goals for self improvement and utilising the opportunities, advice and resources offered by mentors.
Why get involved with the scheme?
• Receive guidance from experts in the field who are enthusiastic to support, encourage and motivate you through your medical school career towards current future goals.
• Gain valuable insights and knowledge from mentors beyond what is taught in medical school.
• Expand your professional network and connect with other like minded people.
• Develop your portfolio as well as your practical, communication and leadership skills.
The deadline to submit this form is 23:59 Sunday 12th May 2024.
