Description

Effective mentorship is a cornerstone of academic and professional development in the health professions—supporting growth, resilience, and career satisfaction for both mentors and mentees. Although many faculty and professionals are expected to serve as mentors, they are rarely offered structured opportunities to develop the specific skills that make mentoring relationships meaningful, sustainable, and impactful. Without this support, mentoring efforts may feel informal, inconsistent, or under-recognized within organizational culture.

This workshop is designed to help participants build core mentoring skills, reflect on their role as mentors, and contribute to a culture of mentorship within their programs or institutions. Through discussions, reflection, and case-based activities, participants will explore the elements of effective mentoring relationships, practice communication and skills that support mentoring and discuss how to foster mentorship culture within teams and organizations.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the essential components of effective mentoring relationships
  • Develop and apply skills to establish and maintain mentoring relationships
  • Reflect on their own role and ongoing learning needs as a mentor
  • Understand how to contribute to a culture of mentorship in their organization

 

Who would benefit most from this workshop?

  • Clinicians, Academic or Clinical leaders
  • Anyone interested in developing mentorship skills in clinical contexts
