Mentoring

New faculty members may request a meeting with an Office of Faculty Development advisor to discuss career development assistance to identify mentors. 

The Office of Faculty Development has resources in an internal SharePoint, including a Career Advancement Plan Worksheet that faculty may use to track career development. The development of innovative approaches such as group mentoring or peer mentoring will be encouraged.

All faculty on the tenure track must have a mentoring committee. For assistance in building a mentoring committee, please contact us.

Feinberg Faculty Portal

A new section has been added to the Feinberg Faculty Portal. The section is called Meetings with Mentors (on the Activities page), and it is intended as a place where faculty can record feedback received from their mentors over time. It is available for use by all faculty, but it is likely to be most frequently used by junior faculty. In addition to the new section, there is a new summary report called Report of Meetings with Mentors which can be generated from the Vitas & Biosketches page accessible from the left navigation.
