2002 Mentoring Symposium on
"How to be a Good Mentor/Mentee"
(Sponsored by APS/ASPET Women in Physiology/Pharmacology Committees)
Organizers:
Susan Barman, Ph.D., Michigan State University
Robin Davisson, Ph.D., University of Iowa
This workshop is designed to provide mentors and mentees of both genders with advice on the importance of good mentoring to promote development from undergraduate through advanced stages of a scientific career. In addition to brief (5-10 min presentations) by 5 invited panelists, considerable time will be devoted to audience participation. This will include opportunities for attendees to offer their input on topics to be covered in the formal presentations and to submit questions to the panelists on issues related to mentoring.
Attendees will also work in small groups (5-10 individuals) to discuss how they would respond to some real-life issues that involve interactions of mentors and mentees as presented in "mentoring vignettes." In addition, participants will be given a hand-out that will include valuable information on resources available to assist individuals in being good mentors and good mentees.
