Departmental Mentoring MAUT Workshop April 25, 2014 Gloria S. Tannenbaum Pediatrics and Neurology & Neurosurgery

Mentoring A valuable and critical component of faculty career development. While there is no formal University-wide mentoring program at McGill, individual departments/faculties practice some variations of mentoring - formally or informally. New colleagues should request/demand mentorship from their Chairs, if a system is not already in place.

The overall goal is to help/guide new and untenured junior faculty through the formative years of their appointment, with specific focus on preparing them for the reappointment and tenure review process. Formal Mentoring Program: Department of Pediatrics

Formal Mentoring Program: Initial Objectives: To link new recruits/junior faculty to appropriate senior colleagues who can provide guidance on strategies for success at teaching, research, professional development and the inner workings of the University, as well as managing work-life balance, crucial for junior faculty. To identify and mitigate reappointment and tenure problems before they occur.

The Mentorship Program Committee compiled a list of senior colleagues who agreed to serve as mentors. Mentors are given clear instructions on their responsibilities. A Workshop for Mentors was held. Both new recruits and staff members who joined McGill within the past 6 years were invited to find their mutual “fits” from the list. The Chair ensures that each new staff member has a mentor by the end of his/her first semester. It is a relationship that is entered into and developed voluntarily. Formal Mentoring Program:

Structure of the Mentorship Program Register with the Program; meeting frequency: 2-3/year Milestones: The reappointment review (designed to aid mentorship and development of faculty) External salary award renewal Operating grant renewal Promotion or Tenure Mentorship Committee meets regularly to review all registered mentor/mentee programs to ensure that it is working.

Help integrate the new staff member into the department, university and professional communities. Provide advice on research funding sources, how to make effective applications, and how to build a research program. Provide assistance in recruiting students. Provide advice on how to develop a teaching dossier and make steady improvement in teaching skills. This may require that the mentor attend some of the classes of the junior staff member. Responsibilities of a mentor include:

Provide advice on the range of academic opportunities which might be sought including conference attendance, collaboration with others, and establishing recognition outside the University. Provide assistance in becoming involved in departmental and professional activities. Provide early, friendly, constructive criticism if deficiencies are noted in any area. Translate personal experience and knowledge into counsel appropriately tailored to the mentee. Responsibilities (cont’d):

Mentees need a mentor who will: teach them and share experiences with them; e.g. work-life balance issues believe they are capable of achieving more and be willing to help them provide them with unique opportunities to prove themselves introduce them to others value their opinions and ideas, seek their input and learn from them

When things aren’t working well… Grievances one option is the Mentorship Program Committee Failure to meet Program committee to prompt mentors & mentees Changing mentors mediation by program committee Use of additional mentors with special expertise

Clearly, every department and faculty has a particular culture and context and, as such, one model or set of prescribed mentoring activities is unlikely to suit all. A mentoring program not only helps faculty progress successfully in their career, it is a positive approach toward building a community. Mentoring does not stop……

Telemachus and Mentor Thank you!
