[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's in a pre-professional mentoring program. She's supposed to be getting a taste of the medical profession. I am pretty sure I'm not supposed to take her off hospital grounds, and my clinical load is pretty heavy, but [b]maybe I do need to have an hour with her to get to know her.[/b][/quote] NP here. You do. I've tutored adults for the GED and I've taught in low SES high schools. You cannot underestimate the extent to which establishing a personal connection with a mentee is necessary before you can show or teach her anything. This is partly developmental because she's a teenager, partly social because I assume she's from a low SES background, and partly practical, because until you know her better (interests, abilities) you risk talking over her head.[/quote]
