What is Independent Study Mentorship? (ISM)

Independent Study Mentorship is a collegiate level course for students who are wanting to have hands
on experience in a field of work. The students in the program have a mentor for the course of a
semester. They shadow them at their work place to gain information about their selected topic and
other information the student learns. Within the class we have multiple assignments to help us get to
our final project, and things that allow us to better understand our selected profession

Why this topic?

I choose the topic of feeding because its something that is vital towards all stages of life. Its also very
underestimated the amount of work and effort that goes into feeding a baby, even more so with a baby
in the NICU.
