The IFBA Global Mentorship Program is a worldwide initiative to support and sustain the international biosafety and biosecurity community. Mentors and Mentees are brought together to discuss regional/global issues pertaining to biosafety, biosecurity, and biorisk management. Mentees receive guidance in obtaining IFBA Professional Certifications and other career developing skills, and mentors may put their experience towards renewing their existing IFBA Professional Certifications.
