  12. Comments MITS: “The MDP answered not only the questions I knew to ask but also the questions I didn’t know to ask! This is an essential program that every mentor needs.” “I will use what I learned in this program to focus my mentoring, allowing me to better choose my mentees and to be a more effective mentor to them.” “The MDP seminars helped me understand the issues among junior faculty and provided more systematic ways to deal with them. These are valuable experiences that I will most definitely incorporate into my own skills.” Senior Mentors Advice: “Your lack of planning is not my emergency; You are getting a reputation for not meeting deadlines. Is this the reputation you want to have?; Be supportive & challenging; Beware of mentors who eat their young; There are no “free lunches”: a bad mentee is far worse than no mentee” 12

  14. Mentor Consultation Process • April 2011: Pilot/ Launch • Primary Goal: • Provide consultation for “mentoring problems”- concerns mentors and mentees may have about mentoring issues • Aquestion that needs insights from a broad range of senior mentors: to shine a light on an issue… • This service is to assist with mentoring questions, not to find a mentor • 6-8 consults per month 15

  15. Mentor Consultation Servicehttp://accelerate.ucsf.edu/consult?tab= • The CTSI Consultation Service portal is utilized: T & E • The consult is forwarded to the Director and to the “Mentor of the Month”(MoM). • Common Consults: Mentoring resources; Mentoring challenges/problems; Leadership strategies; Academic advancement; Other mentoring issues • The “MoM”responds within one week: a phone call or in-person consult • All information submitted is confidential. The MoM may consult with other mentors as needed keeping all information confidential. 16

  16. Mentor Profiles: Find a Mentorhttp://profiles.ucsf.edu/ • UCSF Profiles (CTSI Virtual Home, Harvard Catalyst) • Research networking and expertise discovery software tool • Each faculty can augment with a Mentor Profile • Mentees can search for mentors with appropriate research expertise • Add yours today! 17

  17. K Early Mentoring Programhttp://accelerate.ucsf.edu/training/k-scholar-emdp  • Inappropriate for junior research faculty to be a lead or co-mentor • Need to focus on their own career development • Don’t have the resources needed • Do have: • Methodologic skills • Clinical expertise • Time & Enthusiasm • Move on to lead/co-mentor as they gain experience • Growing the pipeline 18

  18. Project Mentorhttp://accelerate.ucsf.edu/training/mdp-seminar1 • t-time-limited project: often undergrads, prof students, residents, fellows • Examples: data collection, data analysis, manuscript preparation, grant preparation. • Supervise a summer research project, a 1-year commitment of research: assist with the writing of papers, research grants and research reviews. • Important to have clear understanding, contract with mentee: • http://accelerate.ucsf.edu/training/mdp-seminar1: Contract/Agreement • What are reasonable expectations? Add Cases & Comments 19

  19. Electronic Mentor Evaluation (eME) • Promotion at UCSF requires excellence in teaching / mentoring • C & T researchers may not engage in extensive clinical teaching • Do provide great value to the campus and the research community by mentoring new researchers • Established uniform, electronic system for evaluation of faculty for teaching • No similar approach for evaluation of mentors • eME in development: 2013-2014 launch 20
