FETP Mentorship Activities Assessment: Mentee (Resident/Trainee) Survey

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey!
The purpose of this survey is to assess the strengths and gaps of mentorship activities in the Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) that you trained in previously, are currently training in, or have worked with closely. Your responses will help us learn how the structure of mentorship activities in your FETP are succeeding, as well as reveal areas where we can improve mentorship and support future mentors in their roles. Ultimately, we will use the survey results to design and implement a sustainable and effective mentoring solution that mentors, residents/trainees, and the program as a whole can benefit from.

Your responses will remain private and all data will be deidentified prior to analysis. Any contact information collected will not be shared outside of the research team.

Instructions:
Please complete the survey describing your experiences receiving mentorship as an FETP resident/trainee in the role of a mentee. Select only one option unless otherwise noted in the question. The survey should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
