The WHWB Mentor Program: A new exciting learning experience by Paula Viapiana, Montevideo, Uruguay

"At first, when I was invited to join the WHWB mentoring program, I had doubts. I was not sure that I would benefit from speaking to someone living so far away. I enrolled in the program in January 2013 and now I am convinced it has been one of the most useful learning experiences I have ever had. There are many advantages comparing to more traditional teaching and learning experiences. Some of these are:

• A very experienced Occupational Health Professional will be sharing all his or her knowledge with you.
• You learn by sharing your professional experiences with the mentor and analysing practical cases.
• The meeting timetable can be very flexible.
• There is an opportunity for making friends all around the world.
• You may be able to help other health and safety professionals with sharing knowledge among developing countries.

I encourage everyone who wishes to develop as an occupational health professional to join the WHWB mentoring program. You will not regret it."
