“Mentor Match is an exceptional and reciprocal program for both mentor and mentee. As the mentor, I learned just as much from my mentee as they learned from me. It is critical for rising imagers to have support and guidance from those experienced in the field. However, it is just as important for mentors to keep their pulse on what trainees and early career imagers need and want – this is very dynamic. My experience will certainly help me to mentor others.”
Omar Khalique, MD, FASE
“The ASE Mentor Match program was a game changer for me professionally! I was paired with sports cardiologist Dr. Dermot Phelan. He was instrumental in helping me prepare a professional abstract that was accepted for a national conference. The experience exceeded my expectations, and I’d highly recommend it to sonographers interested in contributing to the field of cardiology.”

“One of the best rewards for a mentor is hearing from a mentee: you are a great mentor. At the beginning of the program, we set goals and arranged a structured biweekly virtual meeting. We covered different subjects in the echocardiography world, such as diagnosis and management of challenging cases and quality improvement of the echo lab. The Mentor Match program brings a solid mutual relationship for sharing experience, skills, and knowledge in a cheerful environment.”
