"PUBLIC HEALTH MENTORING GROUP"
As a recent graduate, Betty C. Jung, M.P.H. '93, envisioned a mentoring program that would provide students with advice on the public health field--from selecting the most useful classes to finding a job. Enlisting the aid of 22 of her classmates, she formed the Graduate Alumni Mentor Program, serving as program coordinator. During the next 10 years, the program evolved and grew impressively. Now known as the Public Health Expertise Network of Mentors, (P.H.E.N.O.M.), the program is administered entirely over the Web and features 24 mentors, most of whom are SCSU alumni. The Web site www.bettycjung.net/Phenom.htm also includes pages devoted to the most frequently requested topics, including finding a job, research methods, biostatistics information, and public health resources. Jung currently serves as the program director.
P.H.E.N.O.M. has been approved by the international Web-based mentoring organization, Peer Resources Network.
If you are interested in becoming a public health mentor or would like more information on the program, contact Betty Jung via email at bettycjung@yahoo.com

PHENOM also strives to support those certified as a Certified Health Education Specialist or Master Certified Health Education Specialist to achieve many of the sub-competencies for "COMPETENCY 7.6: Promote the Health Education Profession"
Source: National Commission for Health Education Credentialing Inc (NCHEC)'s Areas of Responsibilities, Competencies, and Sub-competencies for the Health Education Specialists 2010.
MISSION: To provide public health professionals opportunities to mentor anyone interested in the field of public health.
GOAL 1: To provide the Internet community with an on-line directory of public health practitioners who have offered to serve as career mentors to anyone interested in the field and the practice of Public Health.
GOAL 2: To provide the Internet community opportunities to access the collective expertise of PHENOM, via an online blog.
GOAL 3: To provide public health practitioners who are certified as a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) or a Master Certified Health Education Specialist (MCHES) the opportunity to earn 1 Category II CECH for each year of mentoring service provided as a mentor for PHENOM.
The goal of the evaluation process is to ensure that the program is a meaningful venture, fulfilling expressed wants and needs of mentors and those who utilize the program. Utilization data are gathered anonymously on all PHENOM pages. These data are used to assess how the pages are being used and by whom.
The primary objective in gathering evaluation data from mentors and those who use the Webpages and contact mentors is to:
Mentors are asked to complete the Activity Documentation Form for each activity they perform, or, provide a summary of its contents to the program director at the end of each yearly tenure.
At that time, each Public Health Mentor:
The program director analyzes all data collected from those visiting the pages and contacting mentors and from mentors and compiles statistics regarding activities, which are available as: Annual Program Reports .
Mentors are acknowledged for their participation by being listed on the P.H.E.N.O.M. Appreciation Page and A Certificate of Appreciation is issued to mentors completing the annual evaluation. Beginning June 2013, all mentors who are certified as either a CHES or a MCHES can earn 1 Category II CECH for each year of mentoring service.
