Launched at the 2016 annual meeting, the NCMEntoring Program aims to support the transition of graduate student members and recent graduate members from their graduate programs to professional careers. Early professionals (mentees) are paired with members (mentors) experienced in NCME-related fields: psychometrics, assessment, certification, evaluation, and other aspects of educational measurement.
This experience offers mentees the opportunity to explore possible career paths and/or research interests and for mentors to support the development of potential colleagues and contribute to the field. Each year, over 100 NCME members participate in the NCMEntoring Program and participant feedback has been positive. The Program hopes to cultivate long-term relationships between mentors and mentees.
The NCMEntoring Program is a fun and impactful membership benefit we don’t want you to miss!
