Mentoring Program

The ASPB mentorship program was established to provide a platform for ASPB registrants to share valuable knowledge and experience for their personal and professional development. The program is being designed to offer opportunities for cross-fertilization of professional expertise and ideas among ASPB registrants, where experienced professionals can share their knowledge and experience with early and new registrants while themselves developing important leadership skills.

The objectives of the program include the following:

  • To create opportunities for lifelong learning and professional development,
  • To provide a means for networking and sharing information about best practices, and 
  • To facilitate capacity-building to assist new residents of Alberta and internationally trained individuals.
