INAUGURAL COCHRANE US NETWORK MENTORING PROGRAM
Cochrane US warmly welcomes the nine mentees who were chosen to participate in our pilot program. We received a plethora of interesting and exciting applicants, and as such expanded our preliminary pilot protocol to include seven mentees instead of two. The mentees are divided into two cohorts who will experience similar but distinct opportunities such that when the program is scaled-up next year we can best serve individuals excited about evidence synthesis and health science!
