Program Description:
HIMSS and ELF have partnered once again to bring their successful mentorship program to the Canadian Health Technology sector. HIMSS – ELF Mentorship 5.0 is opened to all those interested. This program looks to pair today’s seasoned leadership with tomorrow’s health leaders. All early to mid-career health professionals are invited to apply as mentees, and all those at least 5 years into their career are invited to apply as mentors.
about us
Emerging Leader Forum (ELF) is a community of healthcare professionals that came together to learn from experts in the healthcare industry, refine skills and cultivate ideas on how we can transform and improve healthcare. Based in Toronto, ELF provides early to mid-level healthcare professionals with a venue for discussion, debate, networking and education to help develop the next generation of healthcare leaders.
HIMSS is a global advisor and thought leader supporting the transformation of health through information and technology. As a mission driven non-profit, HIMSS offers a unique depth and breadth of expertise in health innovation, public policy, workforce development, research and analytics to advise global leaders, stakeholders and influencers on best practices in health information and technology.
how it works
Mentorship 5.0 is accepting applications for mentees and mentors for the 2024 - 2025 cycle. The application period is November 26th-December 26th.
Once the application period has closed, ELF and HIMSS will begin matching eligible mentor and mentee candidates.
Each mentor-mentee pair will be introduced to each other via email at the beginning of the new calendar year. The Mentorship team will reach out to each pair with resources for both the mentee and mentor to ensure a successful connection.
A kick-off event will commence the mentorship program which is expected to last until ~June 2025. Mentors and mentees are expected to commit to a 6-month relationship, consisting of chat and meetups through each pair’s preferred method of communication.
The Mentorship team will reach out to each mentor-mentee pair at regular intervals to ensure success.
A closing event for mentors and mentees will follow upon completion of the mentorship program.
Please note: Due to the high volume of applications, we may not find you a match this mentorship cycle.
