Introduction
The MTAA Female in Leadership Mentoring Program is a Women in MedTech initiative. The program is aimed to facilitate mentoring relationships so that experienced mentors can share advice, knowledge and experience with mentees within the MedTech industry to assist in their professional and career development. The goal is to assist individuals in their career progression into Management and Senior Management positions within the MedTech industry as well as resulting in a mutual professional development relationship.
This program was piloted in FY20 with support from Mentorloop, a cloud-based mentoring program, and had 54 people participate in the initial program.
