Mentoring, Education, and Development
The Office of Faculty and Academic Affairs, in concert with the Office of the Executive Vice President, Council of Chairs and Faculty Development Committee promotes a Facilitated Mentoring Environment (FME) (Johnson, 2015, On Being A Mentor. New York, Psychology Press).
GUMC follows a departmental mentoring scheme as the primary mentorship. A GUMC-wide mentoring scheme provides secondary mentorship.
Department Chairs, mentoring directors and the Office of Faculty and Academic Affairs actively recruit mentors from the GUMC faculty to maintain a pool of skilled mentors that represents the diversity of our community.
We invite your questions about mentoring, including those concerning:
- How to become a mentor or mentee in the ongoing Mentoring Program or New Faculty Sponsorship Program
- Other faculty mentoring programs and opportunities
- Ideas for receiving training on best practices as mentors/mentees
We support the following mentor-related programs. If you are interested in any of the below, please email GUMCMentoring@georgetown.edu.
