CUC-CUA Mentorship Program

                                  Terms of Reference 2020




               Mandate: The mandate of the CUC-CUA Mentorship program is to encourage
               community urologists across Canada to continue developing their skills and
               knowledge throughout their careers and to provide support for learning new
               skills while minimizing the financial disincentives for both the learner (mentee)
               and teacher (mentor).

               Eligibility for Funding:
               o  Approximately 10 awards may be distributed per year; each up to a
                   maximum of $5000 per funded award is available to CUA community
                   urologist members in good standing (annual dues paid in full including dues
                   in arrears from past years).

               o  Every CUA community urologist member is eligible to apply for one
                   mentorship project per year (as the mentee).

               o  There is no limit on the number of times a mentor can be funded per year

               o  The mentor and mentee must not work at the same institution or regularly
                   assist each other outside of the context of this project.

               o  All mentors and mentees must have CMPA protection and the necessary
                   privileges at the proposed institution for the procedures.

               o  Temporary OR privileges should be requested for all surgical techniques as
                   per local institutional guidelines.

               o  Projects related to medical (non-procedure) urology are acceptable as well.

               o  The mentor can be a community or academic urologist with the necessary
                   expertise.

               o  This program is funded exclusively through the CUA and any additional
                   source of funding (pharma) is prohibited.
