OUr Vision
About The Program
This program was uniquely designed to provide a one of a kind physician mentorship experiences to any individual who is aspiring to pursue medicine as a career. It also serves to provide further coaching to those individuals, who are currently in medical training, to facilitate their success in the field. We hope that with thoughtful guidance, Mentees of the Journey Home Mentorship Program will cultivate purpose-driven careers, making a lasting and positive impact on their communities.
I am the Founder and CEO of the Journey Home Mentorship Program. I am so
happy that you have found this program! It will be such a pleasure assisting you on
your journey in medicine. I am a Family Physician working in Ontario, Canada. I am
a Board Certified physician with the American Board of Family Medicine and the
College of Physicians & Surgeons of Ontario. Throughout my career, I have
recognized that there is a great need for mentorship in medicine. Mentorship can
be quite limited if not already enrolled in a local medical training program or if you
have been trained abroad. The Journey Home Mentorship Program helps to bridge
this gap. It is no secret that mentorship gives you an added advantage to future
success. The insight and knowledge gained from mentorship will convert your
steps into strides and leaps fuelled with confidence and wisdom that will help to
facilitate your best career outcome. There is nothing more satisfying than being
right where you belong in your career- content and at peace, while living your best
life!
What can you do now about it? Join the Journey Home Community and connect
with other individuals like yourself, gain updates on information sessions and
mentorship opportunities. Additionally, on our website, you will find mentorship
packages that can be of tremendous benefit to you. I wish you the very best !
