The Health Physics Society (HPS) mentorship platform, Mentorloop, has space for eight new participants to sign up over the holidays!

Please consider whether you have time to share your experience with someone else in the Society or are looking to make a new connection – we would love to have you join us! We are especially seeking mentors to offer guidance and support for a group of unmatched mentees.

Mentoring through HPS is a rewarding opportunity to shape the next generation of professionals in our field. As a mentor, you'll play a crucial role in guiding students and early- to mid-career members, sharing your expertise and fostering their growth in health physics and radiation safety. Mentorship not only allows you to give back to the community, but also offers fresh perspectives and opportunities to expand your own professional network. Your support can inspire confidence, spark innovation, and leave a lasting impact on both individuals and the profession at large.

The HPS mentorship platform is a project of the Mentorship Committee and is open to HPS members of any career stage. Through the platform, members can enter areas of expertise and interest, browse and connect with other participants, chat, schedule and attend Zoom meetings, and ask questions. There is also an active discussion group for members who have indicated "preparation for CHP" in their goal.

There are currently 92 HPS members on Mentorloop out of our rolling, 100-participant subscription. Of these, 87% are matched in 1-to-1 mentoring "loops," and 30% are engaged in group loops. We're especially excited about having 53 new 1-to-1 loops in 2024 and an overall mentoring quality score of 4.51 out of 5!
