- Foster Networking and Collaboration: Create a robust network of medical professionals, facilitating the exchange of ideas, collaborative research, and professional support.
- Encourage Lifelong Learning and Development: Instill a culture of continuous learning and self-improvement, ensuring mentees stay current with evolving medical practices and innovations.
