Your trusted source for mentorships & coaching
Research mentorship is programmed to take place at tertiary education level, and remains critical to the development of the next generation of scientists that will take over from the older and retiring ones. However, bottlenecks such as tuition fees, entry examinations and physical distance still limits access and interactions between mentors and mentees.
The Top-Bottom Open Mentorship (T-BOM) Model therefore seeks to eliminate barriers of access to research mentorship by establishing a virtual and interacting model to bridge existing gaps, promote behavioral change between both parties, and devise innovative strategies of assessing and rewarding mentors.
