Residency Application (Match) Mentorship Program Terms and Agreement

• • Whitetulip Health Foundation (WHF) will assign you a volunteer mentor based on your application and the specialty that you apply for. Your assigned mentor will provide guidance only for the application of one specialty. If you plan to apply to more than one specialty, a separate mentor for those specialties may be assigned to you, depending on the availability. Alternatively, your mentor may provide you advice for other specialty
    residency applications, however, completing all the required documents is your responsibility.
  • The application process is the applicant’s own responsibility, and the mentorship program and the assigned mentors are here to help you through
    this long process.
  • Times of our mentors are quite valuable and the mentors voluntarily spend their time for you. Match mentorship program expects you to treat your mentor with appreciation and respect all the time.
  • As a mentee, you are expected to respond to your mentor as soon as possible after receiving an email/text/phone call. Failing to respond to your
    mentor will not be tolerated. If you do not respond to your mentor within 48 hours, your mentor will send you a noncompliant notification.
  • If you receive three noncompliant notifications, your mentor will no longer continue to provide mentorship and notify the Whitetulip Residency Application Mentorship Committee. To continue to the mentorship program after receiving three noncompliant notifications, you need to provide a written explanation for your noncompliance. It is in the program committee’s jurisdiction to decide to resume mentorship or terminate the mentorship agreement.
  • You and your mentor will decide a deadline for each step of the application process. These deadlines can be modified as long as you discuss with the mentor in advance (no later than 1 week prior to determining the deadline). For any reason, if you fail to finalize the document within the deadline, the mentor will send you a noncompliant notification and will not be able to guarantee a review/edit for the document you submitted.
