Ep. 152 - The power of mentorship & how to get a real one

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mentorship can be a real selling point for PT jobs. It is unparalleled to be able to continue learning in a structured environment with a guide. But does this really happen in reality?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We're often promised mentorship in a job interview, but as soon as we start working, that quickly disappears. Now it's "learn on the fly and keep up."</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oncology physical therapy is particularly suited to mentorship, so when I heard Alexandra Hill is heading up the brand new APTA Oncology Mentorship program, I was thrilled. In today's podcast, she talks about the importance of oncology PT mentorship, how the program was developed, and how it's affecting both mentees and mentors.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Alexandra Hill is looking forward to seeing her program grow and thrive. Having four amazing mentors herself, she knows the importance of mentorships and establishing a formalized structure that makes resources available. Moreover, it's important to match the right mentor to the right mentee. Her mission is to get more physical therapists involved in oncology.</span></p>
