Image Faculty Mentor Training Office of Biomedical Education Current Trainees Resources Faculty Mentor Training The College of Medicine offers a 12-hour “Entering Mentoring” curriculum developed by the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN), now known as the Center for Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER). About the Training The training program has been offered thrice annually (spring, fall, and summer sessions) since 2020 to provide formal mentor training to research-intensive faculty. The curriculum is a rigorous national curriculum that uses scenario based small-group discussion to establish tools to offer optimal mentoring to all mentees. The scenarios are supplemented with readings and further discussions of the Crucial Conversations text, providing additional communication skills to effectively maneuver mentor-mentee relationships. Registration for the spring 2022 and summer 2022 session is now open. Email Donna Wilcock (donna.wilcock@uky.edu) with your preferred session.
