Faculty Workshop in Mentoring Biomedical PhD Students and Postdocs

Event Description

  • The NIH requires faculty to be trained in how to mentor PhD students and postdocs.
  • Even faculty who have mentored dozens of graduate students and postdocs can improve their skills in mentoring.
  • The focus this workshop will be on:
    Aligning expectations with mentees 
    Promoting mentee research self-efficacy
    Dealing with students who are struggling with stress with guest speakers
  • Lessons and interactive case studies will be from the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER).
  • Interactions with fellow faculty will help you reflect on various mentoring situations, enhance your readiness to work with mentees and anticipate new situations.
  • All faculty are invited and junior faculty are strongly encouraged to attend.
  • Your attendance at these workshops make our programs more competitive for training grants
