Guidance from a well-respected mentor can be invaluable to your career.

The Department of Medicine supports the mentoring process as a way to recruit, nurture, promote, and retain a vibrant, diverse, and satisfied faculty. Mentoring services are offered to all interested junior faculty in the Department.

What is mentoring?

"Mentoring may be defined as a process whereby an experienced, highly regarded, empathetic person (the mentor) guides another individual (the mentee) in the development and re-examination of his/her own ideas, learning, and personal and professional development."

—Standing Committee on Postgraduate Medical and Dental Education, 1998


For Mentees

The Department of Medicine introduced its Mentoring Program in September 2015. Each participant will define a scholarly project that will help advance his/her career.

The program will consist of three components. Support for the completion of these projects is provided in several forms:

  1. Project mentoring: each participant is assigned a faculty mentor to support completion of the project
  2. Peer mentoring: participants meet monthly in small groups with colleagues to present and critique each others’ projects
  3. Curriculum: speakers address key topics identified by participants as important to their professional development; monthly
