Mentoring Program

PALH is establishing it's mentoring program for 2009!

In order to better support our students, PALH is matching second year students with currently practicing PAs.  Mentors can answer questions, listen, give advice and ease the transition between eager and nervous student to that of a caring and competent PA.  
 
Mentors will be matched to one second-year student member. The mentor should be available to communicate with the student via telephone or email approximately once a month or whenever concerns regarding PA related issues such as CME, malpractice, state laws, specialties, etc arise.  Matches are made by geographic location and specialty whenever possible.  The relationship officially lasts until the student has successfully begun working as PA, approximately a year and a half.  Of course the relationship continues as colleagues after that!
