Welcome to the new ISCBH mentoring initiative

We listened! The ISCBH new and emerging investigators group has identified the need for mentorship opportunities. We are happy to launch our ISCBH Emerging Investigator Mentorship Program.
 

Aims

  • Create mentor-mentee connections that will lead to fruitful mentor-mentee relationships
  • Encourage a meaningful experience for both mentors and mentees

Our target audience

  • Mentees will be current and newly interested Emerging Investigator members who are also members of the ISCBH .
  • Mentors will all be senior members and leaders within ISCBH.

The process of our mentoring program

  • On receipt of mentee application, we will send two key published papers on the topic of mentorship to the mentee along with a mentee reflection guide.
  • Pairings will be formed by ISCBH co-chairs and first mentor-mentee meeting will be arranged
  • Mentor-mentee will meet for the first time (meeting arranged through ISCBH)
  • Subsequent meetings are encouraged quarterly and these will be arranged by mentees/mentors
  • We will keep track of our pairings with regular surveys to gauge the levels of commitment, perceived benefits and barriers to success.
