[LEGACY] Mentor/Mentee Program Setup Tips

[FOR LEGACY] Tips and tricks for how to set up a mentee.

Important Note: Providers who wish to bring on a Mentee must first obtain explicit pre-approval from the medical team and management!

If a provider has been a part of Portrait for a significant period of time and is interested in bringing on a Mentee, they can do so by paying a mentorship/advising fee. If any provider is interested in this opportunity, kindly direct them to the medical team for a review of the mentorship model framework.

Once a provider is ready to initiate the Mentee program and the Mentee has undergone a pre-assessment with the medical team, there are 5 phases to follow:

  1. Administrative Setup Phase 1: MedMal confirmation, EHR walkthrough, complete process street, complete HIPAA training, complete BBP, sign mentor/mentee agreement, sign P&Ps. Once these are done, the medical team will pull everything together and preview it to your expected future clinical director
  2. General Observation: next is a brief observation period. Observe Mentor completing 30 total treatments of any skill, do the medical team's foundational training with Patrick/Jay, and receive internal Clinical Review Committee signoff (which just requires you to complete the previous steps and demonstrate the knowledge)
  3. Administrative Setup Phase 2: after this is done, Patrick will meet 1-1 with your Clinical Director and update him that you have satisfactorily completed everything. You will then receive a document for signature that officially enlists your new collaborating physician.
  4. Skill-Specific Observation and Skill-Specific Practice: after you officially have a medical director, for each specific skill, you need to observe Mentor doing them a minimum number of times before you administer it on a patient (under observation by Mentor). For the lowest complexity ones (peels, topical Rx, etc.), you just need to observe Mentor doing it once. For the higher complexity ones, you have to observe Mentor doing it 15 times.
  5. Autonomous Practice: once you have completed 220 total treatments, you'll be able to go through the formal whitelisting with Portrait and officially become an independently practicing (still with clinical director) Portrait provider!
Once you are in Phase 4 (Skill-Specific Observation and Skill-Specific Practice) and treating patients under Mentor's supervision, you'll be able to start generating earnings of 25% of gross revenue on treatments.
Once Mentee is ready to get going, the next step should be that we get Mentee through the Administrative Setup Phase 1. Sandra Carnevale is the point person on that and will invite Mentee to Process Street and set Mentee up in Rippling to get their HIPAA and Blood Borne Pathogen modules completed. To contact Sandra you must submit a ticket.
