CAT MENTORS
Mentor List
Faculty members and private dental practitioners who have agreed to serve as CAT mentors are named in the CAT Mentors file. The listing indicates their general area of expertise. CAT mentors review student written CATs and guide students to write a CAT that is publishable in the online CAT Library. Faculty Mentors are considered co-authors of the CATs. As in the supervision of patient care, the faculty are ultimately responsible for the quality and accuracy of the CAT.
