About the Program
Triad mentorship pairings
We do our best to pair prospective MPH/MSc/MHA students with students in their programs of interest at Canadian universities, as well as pairing current MPH/MSc/MHA students or recent graduates with public health professionals in their fields of interest.
The program only requires participation for 1-2 hours each month across four months - meant to not disrupt your studies and work!
organized workshops
We organize a number of professional development workshops for mentors and mentees alike, on topics including:
Writing a Letter of Intent
Master’s studying tips
Securing a practicum
Writing a skills-based resume
Finding jobs after graduation
free resources
To ensure that mentors and mentees get the most out of their partnership, we supply them with monthly newsletters including recommended topics of conversation and resources to support their monthly mentorship meetings and advance their relationship.

Yes! While we will do our best to try to pair mentors and mentees in the same area (in which case you can totally both meet up in person if you’re comfortable!), we want to make the program as accessible as possible (also recognizing that MPH program are often distance education and students are spread across Canada). We hope to pair mentees interested/currently attending the same MPH program with a current alumni where possible. We will focus on pairings based on areas of interest over geography. Everyone has something to learn from their pairings!

Unfortunately at this time, we are focusing our energy on hosting the program with public health students and professionals working and living in Canada (for ease of timezones).
