Faculty Workshop in Mentoring Biomedical PhD students
September 15, 2022
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Event Description
The NIH is requiring faculty to be trained in how to mentor PhD students. We are therefore offering these workshops for faculty in the biological sciences with new case studies each time. This will make our programs more competitive for training grants and pre-doctoral fellowships. All faculty are invited and junior faculty are strongly encouraged to attend.
Topics and interactive case studies led by Jim Millonig and Janet Alder will include: Rationale for mentoring the mentors Academic resources offered in biomedical sciences at Rutgers Managing student projects (e.g. responsibilities of mentor and mentee, expectations for graduation)Funding for students (e.g. internal and external sources)Professional development for students (e.g. Individual Developmental Plans, career advising)Student issues (e.g. identifying mental health issues, avoiding bias, and improving communication)
RWJMS Research Tower, Dean's Conference Room, R123; lunch will be served

Computational Biology Certificate and Courses
Students in the biomedical science programs in SGS have the opportunity to take computational classes regardless of their specific discipline. This aligns with the goal of the NIH that each graduate program provides training opportunities in addition to their technical courses that equip trainees with quantitative/computational approaches.

Using Learning Outcomes to Enhance Student Learning
More Information
TA Project WorkshopsEvent Description
In this workshop, we will explore how we can employ learning outcomes to support our students’ learning experience. Whether we set goals for an entire semester, for a specific module, a class, or a small activity: Deciding on the outcome and planning backwards will not only help our students but also sharpen our own perspective and teaching practice.
