The One-on-One Mentoring Program connects students, residents, fellows, and faculty with a more senior SGIM mentor for personalized career guidance. Even if you already have a mentor at your institution, this program offers a fresh perspective on your professional goals and challenges. Discussion topics may include career development, research, job responsibilities, professional hurdles, and ways to get more involved in SGIM. Participants select areas of interest to ensure strong mentor–mentee matching.

Presenting at the meeting? You can request a mentor to attend and provide feedback.

The program also offers senior SGIM members a chance to support and guide future leaders.

Sign-Up Opens: January 9, 2026
