This mentoring program is introduced with the purpose of bringing together biomechanic students and established biomechanists in order to:

• Enhance the knowledge and technological skills of young biomechanists
• Provide biomechanic students with the guidance and tools necessary to achieve a successful professional career
• Help to shape the next generation of the finest biomechanists and biomechanic research

The mentors will be able to assist student members by agreeing to:

• Allow occasional communication over the phone or emails.
• Allow students to visit the mentor's laboratory for short periods of time that would be convenient for both the student and the mentor. These visits should be for training purposes such as learning new methods or techniques in specific areas of biomechanics.
• Provide students with information about fellowships or internships offered by the mentor or mentor's department.
• Review manuscripts and proposals in confidence.

In order to participate in this program as a MENTOR, you must be a faculty member, a research scientist, or postdoctoral fellow; and as a MENTEE you must be a graduate student, a research assistant, or postdoctoral fellow. Keeping in mind that some of these positions may intersect; some individuals can become both a mentor and a mentee.

You must be an ISB member to seek for a mentor! If you are not an ISB member yet, you can become one NOW at the Membership page. Once you have become a member, you can check out the current MENTORS who are willing to be YOUR MENTOR.
