BEAM and Mentorship: Dr. Patricia Téllez-Girón and Juan Aguirre

As we close out March, we continue to explore the theme of mentorship. We are joined again by guest host Deejay, a first year medical student and member of the Building Equitable Access to Mentorship (BEAM) mentorship program at University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. In this episode, we chat with Dr. Patricia Téllez-Girón, an associate professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health and a mentor in the BEAM program. We also had the pleasure of chatting with fourth year medical student Juan Aguirre in the same conversation. Juan is a a member of the inaugural graduating BEAM cohort and one of two mentees within Dr. Téllez-Girón’s mentoring pod. Join us as they discuss the highlights of their experiences as a continuous mentor/mentee pair and the impact of the BEAM program.
