The Canadian Women’s Heart Health Alliance’s (CWHHA) Member Success Program was developed to support our members within their first year of membership and ongoing.

This program has two distinct pathways:

1. Trainee Mentorship Program (Research and Clinical)
2. Advocate Development Program (Persons With Lived Experience (PWLE) and Community Members)

Role Descriptions

Our Mentors

The role of the Mentor is to encourage and support the Mentee to build understanding and confidence to be more successful in their career. It is about helping the Mentee arrive at their own decisions and take action while benefiting from the experience and wisdom of the Mentor.

This is a great opportunity for more experienced CWHHA members to “pay it forward”, and provide insight, learnings and experiences that our trainee members can apply to their own careers. 

Mentoring relationships require a willingness to commit from both Mentees and Mentors and so our goal is to help facilitate the most beneficial relationships while respecting everyone’s limited capacity.

Our Mentees

The role of the Mentee is to build understanding and confidence to be more successful in their career by actively learning, and seeking feedback and guidance on agreed issues. The Mentee should ideally arrive at their own decisions and take action while learning from the experience and wisdom of the Mentor holding more professional or diversified experience!

We are happy to offer this exclusive mentoring experience for our CWHHA Trainee members to request and commit to flexible mentor relationships with more experienced members.
