I engaged Dr. Gotian to design and facilitate a one-hour webinar on leveraging mentoring for the World Science Scholars program. Not only did this group of exceptionally talented secondary students from around the world gain an appreciation for the benefits of having mentors, but they also learned actionable strategies for finding mentors. Her expertise and warmth allowed her to connect and to motivate the students, helping to further scaffold their path for success.

Dr. Ruth Gotian delivered her highly engaging “How to find a Mentor” talk to our Emergency Department Apprenticeship Program, a group of underrepresented minority pre-medical students. She was able to connect with these young students to deliver the powerful message of mentorship. Her advice was practical, easy to understand and backed up by research. There is no doubt in my mind she had a positive influence on these kids.
