AHLA Mentoring Program
Based on positive feedback we have received over the years concerning mentoring programs undertaken at the Practice Group and Committee levels, AHLA is pleased to announce the launching of an organization-wide Mentoring Program that is available to all AHLA members. We are excited about this initiative because we are confident it will foster even greater collegiality and bonding across our varied substantive Practice Groups and across our varying experiences as healthcare lawyers.
Some of you might ask why should there be an AHLA Mentoring Program when there already are mentoring programs being offered by many bar and other lawyer associations and by most law firms and in-house counsel offices. Well, the reason for us is simple – we believe our bond as healthcare lawyers and our mutual ties to AHLA provide a unique perspective on developing professional relationships within the healthcare field generally and specifically within AHLA, and on addressing practical concerns and problems our colleagues might be facing in advancing their healthcare careers.

Who can participate?
AHLA's Mentoring Program is offered as a benefit to our membership, so you need to be an AHLA member to participate. Not a member yet? Join today to get access to the Mentoring Program and a wide variety of benefits.
How is the program being rolled out?
The AHLA Mentoring Program will be launched in two phases:
-
Phase One will allow AHLA members and leaders to fill out their mentor profiles, and will enable us to build a large pool of potential mentors. Mentees can still sign up during Phase 1, however the selection of mentors to choose from will not be as large as during Phase Two. (September, October)
-
Phase Two will allow mentee profile signups, and then mentees will be presented with possible matches. They will select their potential mentors, and the matching begins! (November)
