The International Mentorship Program is a professional development and education program for early-career thoracic malignancies-focused physicians/researchers from economically developing countries. The awardees, depending on funding support, of this program are matched with well-established scientific and clinical mentors from hospitals, health and research facilities within the hosting WCLC region. The awardees will be mentored during the World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) and then the awardees will visit the mentor’s institution, shadow the mentor, meet and interact with other physicians/researchers at the mentor’s institution for approximately 5 days following the WCLC. The detailed program is determined by the mentor. GOALS OF THE PROGRAM Foster the professional development and education of early-career thoracic malignancies-focused physicians/researchers from economically developing countries globally. Share information and ideas and teach skills that the awardee can in turn pass along to their colleagues at their home intuitions. Establish communication and collaborative relationships between the mentor and mentee, and their respective institutions that will last well into the future.
