During this 6-session online “train-the-trainer” workshop, participants are introduced to an abbreviated form of Entering Mentoring, a mentor training curriculum that addresses the following key topics: aligning expectations, reflecting on diversity and establishing a practice of inclusion, articulating your mentoring philosophy, fostering independence, maintaining effective communication, promoting mentee research/scholarship self-efficacy, and promoting professional development.
Participants will learn evidence-based approaches to implementing research mentor training and gain the knowledge, confidence, and facilitation skills needed to design and implement training at their institution or organization.
