Young Physicians Mentor-Match:

Looking for a mentor or are you willing to be a mentor to a WDS member in your private practice? The WDS "Mentor-Match" is an on-line member service that provides a method for identifying a potential mentor and a method for members to offer to serve as a mentor. Seeking a MENTOR? Go to "Mentor-Match" to enter your profile information and select the skills that represent your areas of interest in seeking greater expertise with help from a mentor. You can also enter specific areas in dermatology where you are seeking to expand your expertise. Once you submit the Mentee Profile form, a list of potential mentors will appear from which to choose. Offering to be a MENTOR? Simply go to "Mentor-Match" to enter your profile information and select the skills that represent your areas of expertise and/or interest. You may also enter areas in dermatology in which you have specific expertise to offer. Once you submit the Mentor Profile form, your profile will be added to a roster of potential mentors from which mentees can make a selection and contact you.
