TOP 10 REASONS WHY I THINK YOU SHOULD BE MY AAHPM MENTOR

By Shaida Talebreza Brandon

10. The other doctor I asked has not responded to me

The reasons get better as the presentation continues

9. I get awkward around potential “senior” faculty mentors When I talk with Christine Ritche, James

Tulsky, etc. my mind goes blank

I hear Bette Midler singing the song “Did you ever know you’re my hero…”

I am scared that I will say something to them like “You are the wind beneath my wings”

8. I think you may be able to provide mentorship regarding my hyper-enthusiastic response to people

7. You can bring your family to Utah! Tons of fun family-friendly things to do

here! AAHPM will pay for your ticket Your family can play while you work You can also play because there will be

free time

6. You can stay at Snowbird

It’s really pretty (ask Sei Lee and Christine Ritche)

It is not expensive in the summer

Lot’s of fun family things to do: Alpine slide Aerial tram Swimming pools Bouncy castles

5. Your strengths = my needs improvement You have been

published You are good with

data You are good with

computers You do not get

spastic around people like Christine Ritche and James Tulsky

4. I am responsive to feedback I will not cry when

you give me advice

I will not cry if you tell me I am sending too many emails

I will not cry if you are busy and cannot respond

2. We can do great work together Create conference workshops at AAHPM,

AGS, and Reynolds

Disseminate the AGS Geriatrics Evaluation and Management Tools

Develop great curricula

Publish articles – including one for the American Family Physician (AAFP)

3. We can do great work together We really can!

Really!

Trust me on this one!

1. AAHPM will give us money! $1500

And free conference registration for AAHPM in San Diego = more money to spend at the San Diego Zoo and on surfing lessons

Will you be my mentor? Yes Maybe
