So now you have a new role in medical education and you don't know where to start? Welcome to COMSEP! You have come to the right place. We have all walked in your shoes and found tremendously supportive individuals in this organization. For many of us this is the most supportive environment we experience as educators.
How to get started:
- New members - (even up to 3-4 years of participation) should strongly consider taking the pre conference workshop on setting up a clerkship at the national meeting. Frankly, taking it twice - is often helpful.
- New members (even up to 3-4 years of participation) should attend all aspects of the annual meeting - including the "business meeting" and especially the Task Forces. The best way to contribute is to volunteer immediately - you can be sure that you will get a lot of guidance. Choose the Task Force - that sounds most interesting to you - and you may move from one to another at your desire. Get involved!
- Annual Meeting - welcome. The time in the hospitality suite at the hotel is set up to meet the President of COMSEP and other senior members - in a small group setting. Look for that time in the meeting description - in particular at lunch.
- Mentoring Lunch: One of the lunches will have each table hosted by at least 2-3 - folks who are either senior - or becoming senior in their number of years of experience.
- If you would like to get hooked up with someone for advice and career support
Email Bill Wilson at mailto:WGW@virginia.edu
- Finally, don't be afraid to ask questions and just enjoy yourself. You're amongst friends at COMSEP!
