Faculty Research Mentoring Workshop

Are you a faculty mentor or would you like to be a mentor? 

The Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) is presenting two mentoring workshop to develop your competency as a mentor. The training is designed to help faculty who mentor early career researchers, whether junior faculty, postdoctoral trainees, or graduate students, to become more effective research and career mentors. 

The two-session workshop uses a case-based, discussion-oriented curriculum designed by the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experience in Research (CIMER) . CIMER develops theoretically-grounded, evidence-based, and culturally-responsive training materials. A randomized controlled trial  of this mentoring curriculum demonstrated that this training improved the skills of mentors. 

Topics include:
•    Approaches to research mentoring

•    Establishing expectations  
•    Addressing diversity 
•    Promoting professional development
•    Fostering independence
