Maximizing Mentee-Mentor Relationships: Empowering the Mentee

Maximizing Mentee-Mentor Relationships: Empowering the Mentee helps emerging clinical and translational investigators navigate the complexities of the mentoring dynamic. Emphasizing the perspective of the mentee, this two-day course explores strategies for developing and maintaining successful mentoring relationships through case studies, lectures, and interactive sessions led by experienced mentors. Each session addresses critical issues such as expectations and responsibilities, pitfalls and challenges, and communication and career development. Participants will learn practical tools for empowering their own mentee-mentor relationships, and discuss the impact these relationships can have on both personal satisfaction and academic success.
