    • Quarterly conversations by phone between mentor and mentee
    • An in-person work-based one-day experience with the mentor in the spring of 2019
    • An in-person closure and debriefing meeting at the close of the 12-month mentorship period – to take place at the 2019 ACS, held October 27-31, 2019 in San Francisco
