The EMBC’08 Mentor Program gives you the opportunity to get a direct feel for how sessions are synthesized, organized, and structured, as well as to interact with key researchers in your field. Who knows, you may meet a mentor or presenter who could change the course of your life!
This program introduces you to a Session Chair of your choice, where you will learn how to work the session and obtain feedback. After arriving early to your selected session and introducing yourself to the Session Chair, you will have the opportunity to observe how the Chair is coordinating the session up close. Afterwards, depending on the session chair's schedule, you should have the opportunity to ask questions relating to the session itself or any other topics brought up in the session.
