Cases

  • Your primary mentor (who is your division head)

suggests you participate in a new medical staff committee because he is too busy to represent the

  • division. You are concerned that it will take away from

your primary goal of getting a career development award in the next year

Questions

decide whether to accept?

Case

  • You recently finished a draft manuscript that is a crucial

part of your upcoming K23 grant submission. You emailed the draft to your mentorship team two weeks about but your primary mentor hasn’t responded. He also canceled all meetings for the next month, as he will be at sequential international conferences.

Case

  • After emailing a completed draft of your upcoming

conference talk to your mentoring team/co-authors, you receive very disparate feedback from them. In your weekly meeting with your primary mentor, she gets upset and asks why you dismiss her feedback and askes you to only work directly with her on future drafts.

Look beyond traditional mentorship

  • Mentors at other institutions

– Local vs distance

  • E-mentorship
  • Near-Peer mentorship
  • Mentorship outside of academic healthcare

Build a mentorship team
