DIVERSITY INITIATIVES

MENTOR (Mentor. Engage. Network. Train - Optimizing Recruitment and Retention) for Diversity program was developed to address this need.

  • The overall mission of MENTOR for Diversity is to establish a formal network of residents, fellows and faculty with the main goals of increasing recruitment and retention of underrepresented minority house staff and faculty. Residents and fellows can participate in informal networking events focused on:

  • Peer and faculty mentorship

  • Career development advisement

  • Community service/engagement

Social responsibility

MENTOR for Diversity identifies projects—such as the Family Needs Screening Program, which connects families to community resources—that help house staff engage with the communities they serve.


Building relationships

MENTOR for Diversity residents and fellows build relationships and connect through quarterly informal networking events such as brunches and dinners. In addition, we regularly send out emails to communicate URM career development opportunities at national levels.


Mentorship

MENTOR for Diversity monthly mentorship meetings include:

  • Peer mentorship

  • Discussion of professional challenges

  • Preparation for milestones (boards, fellowship interviews)

  • Faculty mentorship

  • Structured presentation/ discussion

  • Developing an academic career

  • Leadership opportunities

  • Developing a career plan
