Workshop for Rutgers Faculty in Mentoring Biomedical Grad Students and Postdocs

Workshop for Rutgers Faculty in Mentoring Biomedical Grad Students and Postdocs 

• 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 year’s workshop will be on:
  • Aligning expectations with mentees
  • Promoting mentee research self-efficacy
  • Dealing with trainees who are struggling with stress by guest speakers: Chantal Brazeau, MD, Chief Wellness Officer and Carolyn Dellatore, JD, Assistant Vice President in the Office of Workplace Culture
• 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 and 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
