[accordion_father event=”mouseover” iconsize=”18″ icon=”fas fa-mouse-pointer”][accordion_son size=”18″ title=”Mentorship in IP: It’s a Two-Way Street that Requires Training in Both Directions” clr=”#6a7284″]Recent peer-reviewed studies show that mentorship plays a critical role in academic success in the STEMM fields, yet only 33% of junior faculty receive formal mentoring.
Formal mentorship is associated with improvements in engagement, burnout, leadership readiness, and overall morale, especially for underrepresented minority faculty.
This seminar will review the evidence that formal mentorship programs build strong faculty and improve academic success rates. An interactive discussion will outline the concepts of training for the mentor and the mentee, and identify resources for building mentorship programs at home institutions.[/accordion_son][/accordion_father]
