Academic career mentoring program

Academic Career Mentoring Program

Application Deadline: October 20, 2023

Building upon the success of the first Research Career Mentoring Program, AUGS has expanded the focus of the mentoring program to include a variety of topics related to establishing a career in academic medicine.

The Mentoring Program offers participants the opportunity to increase their access to experienced academic career mentors outside of their institution/facility. The mentee-mentor relationships developed via the program can be focused on a variety of topics with the goal of aligning the mentor’s self-identified strengths to the needs of the mentee.

AUGS is seeking both interested mentors and mentees who are looking for a mutually rewarding mentorship experience.

What to Expect

AUGS will assign mentors/mentees into mentoring groups, or “pods” of 2-4 mentees with 2-3 mentors. Each group will meet virtually a minimum of four times during the program with discussion topics and guidelines provided by the Program Committee. The program will run from January 2023 – September 2023.

Important Dates:

• Deadline for Mentor/Mentee Applications: October 20, 2023.
• Program Dates: January 2023 – September 2024 with “pod” virtual meetings in the months of January, March, May, and Summer (July-Sept based upon availability).
