Mentor Match

APHA's dynamic new online tool Mentor Match is part of your APHA LEAD member-only platform. The system features:

  • A searchable database, allowing registered mentees to search among registered mentors using criteria like geographic location, public health interest and career stage.
  • An easy enrollment and mentor relationship tracking process.
  • Mentoring resources to get you and your mentee started off right.

We need experienced public health professionals like you to make it work. Learn more.

Distinguished Leaders Mentoring Series

Our bi-monthly Distinguished Leaders Mentoring Series webinars give small groups of APHA members face-to-face time with some of the top names in public health. Members have the opportunity to meet with public health champions, learn about their career path and ask questions about your own.
