Faculty Mentoring

The College of Human Medicine began a Faculty Mentoring Program in Fall 2005, based upon a recommendation from the Faculty Excellence Task Force. The overall goal of this program is to supplement existing departmental mentoring activities and to assist junior faculty in achieving the award of tenure.

Six senior faculty members have been selected and trained as mentors. They meet with junior faculty on a periodic basis to: review academic progress to date, establish future academic goals, and provide assistance in achieving those goals. Once a year, the junior faculty receive written feedback from the CHM Mentors on their progress toward achieving tenure.

Mentors and protégés meet periodically during the academic year, and at least twice a year, the entire group of CHM Mentors and Protégés meet to participate in professional development seminars.

This program is available to all CHM tenure system faculty.
