Improving Mentor-Mentee Collaboration

January 3, 2012

Because it's important to create a strong mentoring environment for junior investigators in clinical and translational sciences, Christine Pfund and colleagues are testing the effectiveness of a research mentor training program. An eight-hour curriculum, UW Clinical and Translational Research Mentor Training, focuses on six key mentoring competencies: (1) maintaining effective communication between mentor and mentee; (2) establishing and aligning expectations between mentor and mentee; (3) assessing mentees' understanding of scientific research; (4) addressing diversity within mentor-mentee relationships; (5) fostering mentees' independence; and (6) promoting mentees' professional career development.
