Please join the PD committee for a discussion on: "Digging Deeper, Doing Better: The Science of Effective and Inclusive Mentoring in STEMM"

Mentoring is a critical aspect of academic training and research progress, yet is often learned and perfected only through trial and error. This seminar will provide an intellectual framework to accelerate the acquisition of mentoring insights and cultivate effective mentoring relationships. Additionally, participants will learn about evidence-based approaches to broaden participation of culturally diverse groups in the science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medical (STEMM) fields. Overall, participants will gain confidence in working with mentees from diverse backgrounds, add new strategies to their mentoring toolbox, and gain access to available resources to support quality mentorship in their professional careers and at their home institutions. Participants will be able to continue the discussion in breakout group discussions immediately following the keynote on 1) Digging Deeper - the science behind effective mentorship, or 2) Doing Better - mentoring across diverse dimensions.
