Our Teaching Assistants
The Teaching Assistants in the Graduate Mentorship Program serve to help students learn the diagnostic skills taught in the program by meeting with their small groups and working with practice exercises, answering questions and being available to help understand the process. When it comes time for students to submit a case review, the Teaching Assistants walk through the process with students. They are an invaluable asset to the program.
