Optimal Mentoring is a series of interactive sessions on the NIH mentor training focus areas. Faculty will reflect on their own mentoring practices, and most of each session is set aside for participants to share challenges and solutions with one another. Each session stands alone, so you can attend in any order.

This session builds on earlier offerings. We strongly encourage faculty who attended past sessions to join, and faculty who are new to the series are also welcome to start here.

You can expect:

  • Brief introductions to evidence-based mentoring approaches
  • A chance to hear how other faculty handle common mentoring challenges
  • Thoughtful discussion that draws on the experience in the room and recognizes that effective mentoring can take many forms
