Mentor-Protege Mentoring Workshop Series
The Mentoring Workshop Series provides comprehensive mentoring workshops for mentor-protégé pairs to facilitate the transition to the next level of excellence and independence in clinical and translational research.
This series is designed for junior or senior Scholars and their mentors. The goal of the program is to help build a strong mentor-protégé relationship through which the protégé can find the necessary support to enhance growth in the areas of research and team science, teaching and professionalism.
In addition, the protégés' own mentoring skills will be enhanced as they gain skills which will allow them to mentor high school students, undergraduates, PhD students and postdocs. The Mentoring Program consists of six in-person, one-hour workshops to be delivered monthly.
An online platform (e.g., UBLearns) will be used to share resources and experiences during the program.
