Mentoring

ACEM is committed to representing and supporting members in their professional life in a manner that enables longevity of emergency medicine professionals and sustainability of the wider emergency medicine workforce. The ACEM Mentoring Program (known as Mentor Connect) has been established as part of the implementation of College’s Discrimination, Bullying and Sexual Harassment (DBSH) Action Plan. By embracing mentoring, the emergency medicine profession will institute and support healthy workplace cultures, leadership and professionalism in emergency medicine. Mentor Connect aims to connect members and trainees with an emergency medicine colleague outside their immediate jurisdiction.
