The Miami CTSI Research Mentoring Training is a series of workshops for early stage faculty and their mentors to strengthen their mentoring skills and build successful relationships.

Workshops are interactive and include presentations, exercises and discussions with mentoring teams.

The curriculum uses evidence-based strategies and was developed by the University Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute. It is modeled after their CO-Mentor Training Program, led by Gregory Austin, M.D., a nationally recognized leader in research mentoring training.

Requirements

Due to the attendance limitation, participants will be selected based on (1) their commitment and the commitment of their mentor to attend the full training, and (2) the order the registration was completed (first come, first served). The time commitment over the 3 days is expected to be 8 hours for the mentors, and 16 hours for the mentees.
