Webinar: How to Be a Successful Mentee & What to Expect from an Effective Mentor
A mentor is a seasoned professional who informally guides a less experienced person in their professional endeavors. A mentor should always have the mentee's best interests in mind and tailor their mentorship style to meet that person's needs.
In this 1-hour fireside discussion, NAHN Education Committee members will go over best practices of being a mentor, and provide tips on how to identify and get the most out of a mentor. This session will focus on answering questions from members working to identify a mentor and experienced medical professionals wanting to mentor younger colleagues in their general career.

WEBINAR RECORDED ON NOVEMBER 16, 2023
Webinar: Am I at Risk? A Conversation on Oral Anti-Viral Clinical Trials and the Latino Community with Dr. Fabian Sandoval
NAHN and the Covid-19 Vaccine Education and Equity Project for the second webinar in a series on Oral Anti-Virals. This second webinar features speaker Dr. Fabian Sandoval, who is a CEO and Research Director, with over 25 years of bench to bedside research experience.
Background:
As we enter the cold and flu season, there is a lot of talk about the updated Flu and COVID-19 vaccines. However, if a patient gets COVID-19 or the patient is not able to get vaccinated, what other forms of treatment are they offered? Oral antivirals continue to create confusion among the population in regard to eligibility and treatment in spite of last year's FDA and CDC approval.
Facts:
Last year, after conducting a study with more than 700,000 patients, the CDC reported that Black patients were 36% less likely to be prescribed an oral antiviral than white patients, while Hispanics were 30% less likely to get the drug.
Call to Action:
What are antivirals? When are they recommended for treatment? Do they produce side-effects? Who is eligible to take them? Can I purchase them in advance?
