AHLA's Health Law Mentoring Program connects experienced health law practitioners with emerging professionals seeking to advance their careers. The program operates through the AHLA Communities platform and is available exclusively to AHLA members and student subscribers.
Participants may enroll as a Mentor, a Mentee, or both — depending on where they are in their career and what they hope to contribute or gain from the relationship.
Whether participating as a Mentor or Mentee, the program creates professional relationships that deliver value throughout a health law career.
Enrollment and matching take place entirely within the AHLA Communities platform. The following steps outline the process from initial sign-up through your first meeting.
Log in to mynetwork.americanhealthlaw.org and navigate to Communities → Mentoring Program → Mentor Program Instructions. Review the program overview before proceeding.
A complete, detailed profile significantly improves the quality of your matches. Include your practice area, years of experience, geographic location, and specific goals or areas of expertise. Profiles with more information consistently generate better results.
Within the Mentoring Program community, select the role or roles that align with your professional goals. Members at any career stage may participate in both roles simultaneously when their goals support it.
Use the program's search tools to identify potential matches. Begin with broad search parameters to maximize available results, then refine based on your priorities. When you identify a strong match, send a connection request through the platform.
Once a match accepts your request, schedule an initial meeting to assess fit and establish expectations. Review the Mentoring FAQs in advance, then complete a Mentoring Agreement that documents objectives, meeting cadence, duration, and shared expectations.
All enrolled participants are automatically subscribed to AHLA's broader Mentoring Community, where members share best practices, ask questions, and connect with others engaged in the program across the health law field.
Access the AHLA Communities platform to enroll, complete your profile, and begin connecting with health law professionals.
