The Department of Medicine is committed to fostering a strong culture of mentorship at every career stage. Through programs like LAUNCH Teams and the Mentorship Academy, we offer structured support, peer collaboration, and career development opportunities tailored to faculty interests and goals. Whether building new mentor relationships or deepening existing ones, our mentorship initiatives help faculty thrive across clinical care, research, education, and leadership.
Mentorship Academy is an annual event designed to strengthen mentorship across all stages of academic medicine. Through inspiring talks, practical tools, and personal stories, faculty and guest speakers explore how to build purposeful mentor-mentee relationships, create inclusive mentoring environments, and grow professionally as both mentors and mentees. The event emphasizes reflection, connection, and the importance of mentorship as a driver of career success, personal fulfillment, and institutional excellence.
