Individuals: If you would like to be paired with a mentor, please send Kathleen Land an email with a list of your teaching sessions (lectures, small groups, etc.) and dates, times and locations. Lead time of a month is recommended, but not essential. If there is a specific class which you would like observed, the more time the Academy has to find an available mentor, the better. Once your mentor has been scheduled you'll receive a confirmation and your mentor will contact you about the sort of feedback you have in mind. You'll also schedule a time for your feedback session, which is most efficient if conducted within a week of the observed session.

Course and clerkship directors who would like to pair their faculty with mentors should follow these steps:

1. Email a request form to Kathleen Land 8 weeks before the course or clerkship begins.
2. Customize and send this TOP information letter to the potential mentees and confirm their participation.
3. Send reminder emails (as directed by Kathleen) 2 weeks before scheduled observations.
