The Research Pathways Mentorship Program seeks to promote, encourage, and support research culture and leadership in osteopathy. The Program will pair osteopaths interested in research (mentees) with established researchers (mentors) experienced in osteopathic research. The aim of the mentoring relationship is to facilitate the mentee's career development and research capabilities through access to one-on-one support from an experienced researcher. The Program would be beneficial to osteopathic clinicians who are new to or interested in including research in their career journey; and university students studying osteopathy who are interested in research. It will provide an opportunity for clinicians to seek guidance on potential research pathways, the transition from clinician to clinician-researcher or from novice/non-researcher to more experienced researcher, and guidance on participating in research and developing research ideas and questions.
Expressions of Interest (EOIs) now OPEN.
The Program will run for 12 months (between March 2024 and March 2025).
Exact start and end dates will be negotiated between participants and the program manager.
Eligibility (Mentees)
Eligibility (Mentors)
