How long are mentorship sessions?

Each month, you will sign up for a 30-minute mentorship session at a time that works for you. Sessions are available between 6pm through 9pm Eastern Standard Time. The conclusion of mentorship will come as an agreement between Mentor and Mentee AND once outcomes have been achieved.

How do I collect Professional Development Units (PDUs) and how can I use them?

During our first session, we will create a list of objectives and outcomes that you’d like to achieve by the end of your mentorship. Following the NBCOT® guidelines (see link above), we will complete the required Mentorship Forms. These can be uploaded to your renewal log on www.NBCOT.com as PDUs. In order to qualify for PDU units, you must complete at least 4 mentorship sessions. Each 30-minute mentorship session counts for 0.25 PDUs. NBCOT® uses the following conversion rate: 2 hours = 1 PDU (maximum of 18 units per renewal cycle).

What should I expect for my first mentorship session? What about follow up sessions?

Your first mentorship session is a get-to-know-you session. Within the 30-minutes, we will create a list of objectives and outcomes that you want to achieve. Your next sessions will consist of topics of interest/learning, case studies from your current caseload, documentation review, reflection questions. Additional resources, including but not limited to research articles, journaling, and templates & activities, may be provided to further your learning potential.

I’ve been a mentee in the past. Can I collect PDUs on already completed mentorship sessions?

Unfortunately, we cannot backdate to previous sessions for PDU credit. Following NBCOT® guidelines, the mentorship forms must be completed and a plan developed and documented in order for mentorship meetings to be eligible for PDUs.

How do I cancel my membership? Can I skip a month?

Your monthly membership can be canceled at any time by logging into your membership account on www.emilymarieot.com . Months cannot be skipped. For your greatest learning potential, it best to continue monthly session until completion.
