Skills in mentorship are essential to the success of faculty. And new NIH requirements now mandate the training of research mentors to participate in post-doctoral research training programs.
To meet this need, we have collaborated with faculty from the UW Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences to develop an interactive, multi-session mentor training course designed to develop skills essential to mentoring across research, education, and clinical care.
This course meets all of the new requirements from the NIH, but has been specifically designed to apply not only to research mentorship, but also mentoring in the clinical and educational arenas in academic medicine.
The virtual program is designed around six, interactive teaching sessions given once a month. Participants will also be put into peer cohorts with separate discussion session questions and materials to bring peer mentoring into the mentor development process.
