The symposium curriculum 2021 will focus on the theme: Mentee Tips for Developing a Healthy Mentoring Relationship, and will include a key-note presentation and a panel discussion (Q&A) by early and mid-career subject matter experts with extensive commitment to the ACRM, with focus including the following themes:

1) Understanding that the mentor is a volunteer

2) Taking responsibility for your own learning by setting meetings and given continued progress reports

3) Demonstrating sensitivity for your mentor’s time and intellectual contributions by recognizing his/her contributions in presentations, papers and related research/professional dissemination venues

4) Setting realistic expectations

5) Time management: Coming to meetings on time and with an agenda

6) Recognizing and respecting the mentor’s limitations

7) Ensuring your schedule accommodates the mentor ‘s availability.

8) Addressing mentee/mentor relationships that aren’t working
