Getting Started
Beginning
a clinical mentoring program requires significant planning and administrative
work. This section provides an administrative overview of how to find,
hire, and orient a mentor. It also contains tools for preparing a site
to receive a clinical mentor. The tools included in this section may
be adapted and used in the hiring and orienting process. Tools include
a job description, sample contract, and interview guides, as well as
a sample orientation and materials for mentors once they have been hired.
Hiring Mentors and Site Preparation contains tools for administrators interested in hiring and orienting a mentor and includes forms for setting up the mentoring relationship with the site.
Additionally, mentors need some information to help them get started in terms of the clinical work. The Tips for Mentors section provides a starting point to orient mentors to issues that may arise during their mentorship.
