Mentoring

Effective mentorship programs foster faculty vitality and can lead to positive outcomes in engagement, scholarly achievement, overall satisfaction, and retention. The SOM mentoring program is comprised of three pillars that aim to engage faculty at all levels of need.

Two people interact in a clinical setting with a third person in frame writing notes.

Mentoring Collaborative

Teams from SOM departments regularly meet to learn and refine models, share best practices, and identify methods for implementing or refining a mentoring program in their home department.

Career Optimization and Mentoring Program for Academic Success and Support (COMPASS)

Launched in the fall of 2024, this formal mentoring program pairs mid-career faculty with a one-on-one mentor and knowledge network to support career growth. 

Mentoring Resources

A collection of tools and resources have been curated to support both mentors and mentees.
