Mentoring

ASHM International has over 15 years of clinical mentoring experience, globally. Our team of specialist clinical mentors are sexual health and blood borne virus experts within Australia and the region, and present from professional backgrounds in medicine, nursing, public health, research and community development.  ASHM International works closely with organisations to ensure a tailored training and mentoring package that aligns with national policy, is relevant to context, and meets the need of local health workers.

Our approach is to provide long term education and technical support so as to respond to mentee needs overtime, building sustainability for clinical workforce development by strengthening local expertise and institutionalising internal mentoring mechanisms.
