ASNR Mentor/Mentee Spotlight
Mentee: Dr. Rehab Khalid
Mentor: Dr. David Yousem
From Dr. Khalid: Working with Dr. David Yousem through the ASNR mentor–mentee program was a highly impactful experience that played a meaningful role in shaping my professional development and approach to academic radiology. He provided thoughtful guidance on refining my CV, navigating faculty interactions, and building a strong foundation for residency applications, while also facilitating valuable introductions within the neuroradiology community.
What stood out most was his genuine investment in my growth. He dedicated significant time to carefully reviewing and editing my personal statement and residency application, offering prompt, detailed, and actionable feedback. His mentorship extended beyond application preparation, emphasizing clarity of goals, professional identity, and long term career planning in academic medicine. His direct and candid approach was both refreshing and deeply appreciated, as it provided honest insight while fostering confidence in my decisions.
I am truly grateful for his mentorship, generosity with his time, and continued support. His guidance not only strengthened my application but also left a lasting impression on how I approach mentorship, professionalism, and career development moving forward.
If you are interested in sharing your positive experience in the mentoring program, we would love to hear from you! By sharing your experience, it will allow us to celebrate both mentors and mentees who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to professional development, education, guidance, and engagement through the ASNR Mentorship Program.
