2024 RJOS Resident/Fellow Circles Peer Mentoring
What are RJOS Circles? Circles is a group peer mentorship program designed to create small communities of connected, invested, and engaged members. Finding connection and support at work can be a challenge; Circles are designed to increase access to mentors and peer role models.
“In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn.” - Proverb
Participating in the RJOS Circles program offers a unique and invaluable opportunity for personal and professional growth. Circles are a safe space to share struggles, give and get advice, and celebrate wins. Circles are an opportunity to provide guidance, share their experiences, and offer strategic insights into navigating the complexities of work and life in orthopedics. Our goal is to foster relationships that will help you overcome barriers, build resilience, and advance confidently in your orthopedic career.
Requirements for Circles Participants:
• Resident or fellow member of RJOS in good standing (2024 dues paid in full)
• Currently completing a residency in orthopedic surgery
• Willingness to meet via Zoom monthly with their Circle for one year
• Although in-person attendance to the Annual Meeting is optional for Resident members, we do highly encourage participation
*Selection for the Circles program is dependent on the number of people who agree to function as Circle leaders. Circles of up to 10 individuals will be created annually in July and are expected to meet 10-12 times during the course of the year. This commitment requires monthly Zoom or phone meetings for one year.
