Mentor / Mentee Recruitment
Thank you for your interest in the Division of Pediatric Psychology's Mentoring Project! Established and run for many years by Dr. Sharon Berry, this program has matched many dyads and our matching process continues to evolve.
Mentoring occurs throughout our professional careers, so you do not have to be a student to request mentoring. We think of this as “extended networking” and ask each mentor and mentee to commit to 6 months, with both taking responsibility for determining preferred method and frequency of contact.
Once you have been matched with a mentor, you will receive an email from info@pedspsych.org with your mentorship match as well as materials that you may find useful in supporting your mentorship relationship.
In the following survey, we gather information about your mentorship needs, as well as areas where you can offer mentorship to others, which expands our networks and ability to match dyads across the professional spectrum. This information is not shared beyond the purposes of matching mentor/mentee pairs and ongoing program evaluation.
Program evaluation was conducted in 2017: Amaro, C. M., Noser, A. E., Rogers, E. E., Patten, J., Berry, S., & Roberts, M. C. (2023). Evaluating mentoring programs in health service psychology: An example of the Society of Pediatric Psychology Mentoring Project. Training and Education in Professional Psychology,17, 339-348. https://doi.org/10.1037/tep0000431
An evaluation of the Society of Pediatric Psychology Mentoring Project Poster was also presented at the 2017 Society of Pediatric Psychology Annual Conference, Portland, OR.
