FD4ME - Mentoring II: Mentoring for the Mentor in Academic Medicine

Mentoring in academic medicine seems more important in today's climate than ever before. Academic practitioners are facing increased pressures on all fronts, and navigating the promotion and tenure waters alone is difficult. This introductory module is designed for mentors who strive to help more junior faculty find their way in academics, and complements the Mentoring I, III and IV modules. Please read on if you are embarking or refreshing your role as a mentor.

Mentoring II (Mentoring for the Mentor) and Mentoring III (Mentoring for the Mentee) were designed to complement each other while at the same time specifically addressing each role.  They both address the topic but from different perspectives.  We suggest you choose the module that best relates to your current professional role as either a mentor or mentee.   The Editorial Staff.
