Mentorship

Each MLPR trainee is assigned to a mentor—a leader within Duke Health who provides guidance, resources, connections, context, ongoing feedback and advice.  Mentors assist the resident with navigating the Duke system, identifying professional opportunities and selecting a longitudinal project that is of high-interest to both Duke Health and the trainee.
