UCBAAPT created a mentoring program for Scholars, based on an established and successful Midwifery & Belonging Mentoring Program, currently housed at UCSF: https://midwifementoring.ucsf.edu/
UCBAAPT mentorship program will match Scholars with mentors who are clinicians from the community, SON alumni, and/or SON Volunteer Clinical Professor (VCP), to support Scholars’ sense of belonging and build their resilience in practice. Mentors from diverse backgrounds will be recruited and mentees who would like a mentor will be matched to their mentors to create a supportive network.
- The UCSF Office of Career and Professional Development (OCPD) has supported an existing mentor training for the CNM program and will be invited to plan implementation for UCBAAPT Mentoring program.
- Mentoring resources will address topics such as microaggressions, imposter syndrome, and interprofessional care.
- Diverse mentors will also be nominated for appointment as SON VCP to increase the visibility of diverse clinicians and increase the diversity of the SON VCP Network.
