What are the requirements for mentorship?

Fellows-in-training may work with a mentor, as long as they hold the FAAOMPT credential. Per AAOMPT guidelines, fellows-in-training must complete 300 hours (150 hours for fellows-in-training impacted by Covid-19) of mentor accessible time, whereby the fellow-in-training is seeing patients independently and the mentor is accessible by phone, text, Skype, email, etc. In addition, fellows-in-training must complete 150 hours of 1:1 time, whereby the fellow-in-training and mentor are treating patients together.
