Dear Academy Member,
This email serves as a reminder that the APTA Oncology formal mentorship
program applications are open until June 15, 2022 - this means only 13 more
days to get your application in!
In 2018, a mentorship list was created with the hopes that students would reach
out and directly find mentors to guide them into the world of Oncology Rehab.
In 2021, Dr. Alexandra Hill initiated a formal mentorship program where a
direct connection can be made between students and new professionals, and
Oncology Rehab Professionals through a carefully selected process. The current
mentorship task force aims to progress these two programs into the future.
The current list of mentors can be found
here<https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/180BvTGexkD61GalQ3oBOJdCgeAUxWgX77Qoeq7DehUk/edit>.
If you would like to be removed or need to update your information, please
respond directly to this email with your full name or updated information. If
you are NOT on this resource list and would like to be, please click
here<https://forms.gle/1c1Yg5tC7LuTvujB9> and follow the prompts for the first
section of the survey to fill out the necessary questions to be placed on the
list. Please keep in mind that this is for INFORMAL mentorship. This is a place
where anyone can go to find fellow oncology rehab professionals and the field
they work in either to collaborate or to seek mentorship independently.
As previously mentioned, the formal mentorship program started in 2021 will be
continued in order to bridge academy members with students and new
professionals. Our goal is to provide an educational and growing platform where
future practitioners are enriched with the knowledge of experts. Mentors are
required to be APTA Oncology members and practice in oncologic PT for at least
one year, which includes those who have completed residency. If you are
interested in becoming a mentor with our Mentorship Program, please click
here<https://forms.gle/1c1Yg5tC7LuTvujB9> to submit your information. Please be
sure to complete all three sections in order to be considered for the FORMAL
mentorship program.
Once again, the due date for expressing interest is June 15th, 2022.
If there are any questions, or if you need your information to be updated on
the APTA Resources page, please email
lriggs89@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:lriggs89@xxxxxxxxx> or
meredith.stutz@xxxxxxxx<mailto:meredith.stutz@xxxxxxxx> directly.
We are extremely excited about the growth of the Academy and this initiative to
foster the growth of oncologic PT professionals. Thank you for all that you do!
Warm Regards,
APTA Oncology Mentorship Program Task Force
