The PAAM Clinical Mentoring Program pairs licensed healthcare professionals with experienced, Anthroposophic Medicine (AM)-certified physicians for individualized clinical mentoring. Through structured one-on-one conversations, participants deepen their understanding of Anthroposophic Medicine, strengthen clinical decision-making, and receive personalized guidance in applying anthroposophic principles within everyday practice.
Mentoring takes place throughout the academic year (September through May) by phone, Zoom, or in person, as agreed upon by each mentoring pair.
The current program is structured to support participants working toward certification in Anthroposophic Medicine through the Medical Section at the Goetheanum. Together with the required Foundations-level group mentoring credits, two completed years of individual mentoring are designed to fulfill the direct mentoring component of the current certification criteria. Certification applicants remain responsible for meeting and documenting all other requirements.
Program Includes
- Ten 90-minute one-on-one mentoring sessions with an AM-certified physician
- Two facilitated online group mentoring/case discussion sessions during the academic year
- Participation in the AnthroMed Mentoring Community
- Mentor matching and ongoing administrative support
- Guidance toward the Medical Section's mentoring requirements for certification
- Access to Learner+ reflective practice resources for eligible participants

Registration and Enrollment
This registration page is for applicants who have been accepted into the Clinical Mentoring Program, matched with a mentor, and invited by PAAM to enroll.
After returning the signed mentee agreement, participants receive the registration code for this page. Enrollment is confirmed once registration is complete and the payment requirements below have been met. PAAM will then notify the mentee and mentor that mentoring may begin.
Mentoring Year
The regular mentoring year runs September 1 through June 30. Participants complete ten 90-minute sessions during this period and submit their verified annual mentoring log to PAAM by July 1.
Tuition and Payment
Annual tuition is $1,400 and is ordinarily due in full before mentoring begins. Participants needing financial accommodation may request a payment plan of up to six months. Approved payment plans include a one-time $75 setup fee. Under an approved plan, the payment requirement is met once the plan is established and the first installment is received.
Withdrawal and Mentoring Relationship Support
Participants may withdraw from the program and receive a tuition refund, less a $150 withdrawal fee, provided that PAAM receives the withdrawal request in writing within two weeks of the participant’s first mentoring session. PAAM may confirm the session date with the mentor when processing the request.
After that period, tuition is nonrefundable. If the mentoring relationship is not a good fit, PAAM will work with the participant and mentor to determine an appropriate path forward. Options may include pausing mentoring for up to one year, arranging a different mentor when available, or withdrawing from the program. Any credit toward another PAAM offering will be considered individually.
