Mentees
Support for the path ahead.

 

The transition from residency to practice comes with high-stakes decisions—contracts, finances, work-life balance and professional identity. The Early Career Pathfinder pilot is designed to support you during this exact moment, with guidance from near-peer physicians who’ve recently navigated the same challenges.

This is a selective opportunity to gain clarity, confidence and connection as you start your career in family medicine.

 

Benefits of Participation

• Get real-world guidance from near-peer mentors  
• Build confidence in contract negotiation and practice decisions  
• Reduce stress during the transition into practice  
• Access curated, digital-first resources designed for busy schedules  
• Feel supported—not isolated—during your first years in practice

Interested as a Mentee?

Participation is flexible, with options ranging from a fully digital experience to more engaged mentorship—so you can choose what fits your schedule.

NEXT STEPS: Complete the brief screener survey. If selected, you’ll receive next step and   
onboarding details.

Note: Because this is a limited pilot, not everyone who completes a screener will be selected.
