Make a meaningful impact

Entitled “Mentoring for Experienced Academics”, the session is intended to help attendees to establish an effective mentorship programme and explore various mentoring models that can be used to support and guide others in their academic journey.

This session is designed to help radiographers develop as a mentor and empower them to make a meaningful impact through mentoring.
