AOCA Mentorship Program

The AOCA Mentorship Program connects AOCA members seeking mentorship—whether students, residents, or practicing physicians—with experienced physician anesthesiologists to foster professional development, support career growth, and build meaningful relationships within the osteopathic anesthesiology community.

How the Program Works
The AOCA Mentorship Program is member-driven. Members interested in mentoring can indicate this on their AOCA profile. Mentees search the member directory and initiate contact with potential mentors.

Mentors and mentees are jointly responsible for determining if the relationship is a good fit through an initial discovery call or email exchange. Once agreed upon, you’ll work together to schedule meetings—about one hour per month is recommended.

AOCA provides resources and check-in templates to help support structured, goal-oriented mentoring.
