deep into it now

We are in the 5th day of MINE. Time passes so quickly and wd are already half way of the road! Till now it has been a wonderful experience and I am surprised that, although, we come from the same field there are many differences in how we perceive the concept of mentorship. From the presentations that were done already, one can notice that, this learn tool is applied differently around Europe. We all agree that mentorship is a very useful asset in the student's academical years and it helps to guide him to a rewarding career. From my own experience I had to discover myself how
to learn things on the ward and had to be rather curious and be present at ward rounds to catch up with things, for example.Learning was hard because we were not guided and it was a struggle all the way.

In these last few days, I had the opportunity to exchange my views on how mentorship is applied in Malta and discovered how other countries do their's. There is a common agreementbut, that this learning tool is really helpful for students.
We have now also started our group work as mentors and this looks interesting aswell. Now off to a coffee and then to the university to start a new day of MINE!

Will be continued......
