UK College of Medicine, Biomedical Education Mentor Spotlight

The Mentor Spotlight is designed to recognize excellence in a variety of mentoring capacities. A mentor might be a PI, Upper-level graduate student, Postdoc, Faculty, or Staff member. Dr. Christine Pfund, CIMER Director, defines mentorship as:

"...a collaborative learning relationship that proceeds through purposeful stages over time and has the primary goal of helping the mentees gain the skills and knowledge they need to move on in their chosen careers. That applies to many different kinds of mentoring relationships. It could be a classic research mentoring relationship like we know in the sciences. It can have elements of career coaching. It could be peer mentoring. It could be virtual mentoring with someone who doesn’t even have a research relationship with you."

Mentor Spotlight nominees will be featured on the OBE webpage and briefly recognized at Trainee Research Day for their contribution to trainee development.

Some guiding criteria for nominating a mentor:
-Mentee should fill out the form for a mentor
-Demonstrates excellence in research/scholarship guidance
-Makes a positive impact on students individually or as a group
-Provides assistance in career decision-making and advancement
