BIPOC MEP Student Mentee Application Form
Welcome and congratulations for taking this first step. The BIPOC Mentorship Program is a formal, evidence-based program that supports respectful and individualized mentorship to:
1. Help increase the graduation rate of competent midwives
2. Mitigate against the trauma experienced by so many BIPOC midwifery students
3. Promote resiliency and professional skills that will prepare BIPOC midwifery students for a long career in a stressful but valued profession.

Privacy statement:
The information that is provided in the mentor and mentee applications remains completely confidential and is stored on Ryerson’s Google drive in a password protected, encrypted folder. Only the Mentorship team has access and uses this information at your request for pairing based upon the most characteristic you choose. The mentorship team currently is composed of Karline Wilson-Mitchell, Bahja Ali (RU student RA), and Tumaini Lyaruu (RU student RA). We don’t share all of your demographics with the midwife or student pairs, we only share the ones that are high priority that you request we share.  Instead, we would hope that the mentorship pair will share all of these details with each other as they get to know each other.

Please complete this form and reply to BIPOCmentor@ryerson.ca. We will try to pair you with a mentor asap.
