Join the Clinical Faculty Mentoring Program
This year, we have received strong interest from clinical faculty mentees signing up for mentorship, with notable demand for clinical faculty mentors in the Vancouver Coastal, Fraser and Vancouver Island Health Authorities. This is a great opportunity for experienced faculty to make a positive professional impact on their junior colleagues and in the Department. Mentorship is a two-way learning process that not only benefits the mentee, but allows the mentor to develop and enhance their skills through the fulfillment and satisfaction that will come from assisting a less experienced clinicians.
The Clinical Faculty Mentoring Program, a partnership between UBC Faculty Affairs and UBC CPD, is a program for clinical faculty within the UBC Faculty of Medicine who are interested in mentorship or in mentoring junior faculty. The goal of the program is to support the career goals of clinical faculty in the areas of clinical, administration and research settings and to enhance overall engagement within the UBC Faculty of Medicine (FoM).
The program will pair junior FoM clinical faculty or clinical educators (mentees) with senior and more experienced clinical faculty/educator (mentors). Mentors and mentees will be paired for seven months during which time they will engage in a formal, structured mentoring relationship.
If you have any questions about the mentoring program, please reach out to Joe Tham or Margaret Koshi.
