May 2009
PURPOSE:
To provide a resource for
students, a new professional or interested
others the opportunity to network with a
seasoned professional in their area of interest
and/or expertise.
OVERALL DESCRIPTION:
The mentoring program is to
provide a mechanism for the sharing of
information and expertise from a seasoned
professional to a student, new professional or
someone in a new area of work. It is the
mechanism through which individuals can connect
to discuss issues, problem-solve and/or gain new
knowledge. The mentor serves as a resource to
the mentee.
GENERAL GUIDELINES:
The CPHIMA Mentoring Coordinator
serves to connect individuals of like interest.
The individual seeking a mentor should provide
their name and contact information and area of
interest to the Coordinator. The Coordinator
will then provide to that individual the name
and contact information of a mentor who would be
suitable based on the topic and/or questions
submitted.
The mentor and mentee determine
the extent of the communication and any
face-to-face meetings that may be scheduled.
The two individuals can define the parameters
of their communication.
It is not the role of the
CPHIMA Mentoring Coordinator to define the scope
of the communication between the mentor and the
individual being mentored.
If you are interested in either
serving as a mentor or in being mentored, please
send the following information to
Nathan McWilliams.
He will provide you with the name and contact
information of an individual of like interest.
