My mentor is very busy and only has time to interact with me as a part of a weekly staff meeting. Can the staff meetings count as the mentoring sessions?
A Your mentor is allowed up to no more than 3 staff meetings OR group debriefings out of the 10 mentoring sessions allowed in the Guidebook for Field Education Mentors. The other 7 sessions must incorporate one-on-one debriefing times with your mentor. Another option is to have a secondary mentor in lieu of the group debriefings but this person may also debrief no more than 3 times out of the 10 weeks with you. You are however not limited to a total of 10 mentoring sessions in your Field Ed. If you desire to have more than the required minimum sessions with your mentor, this formula may be used: * 11 weeks of mentoring and debriefing meetings = 7 weeks with primary mentor + 4 weeks with secondary mentor/group mentoring OR = 8 weeks with primary mentor + 3 weeks with secondary mentor/group mentoring * 12 weeks of mentoring and debriefing meetings = 7 weeks with primary mentor + 5 weeks with secondary mentor/group mentoring OR = 8 weeks with primary mentor + 4 weeks with secondary mentor
