Faculty Mentoring Program
The Faculty Mentoring Program supports mentoring for professional and personal development in teaching, research, patient care and leadership. Opportunities are available for assistant and associate professors to receive support from experienced and successful faculty members in an informal, confidential and non-evaluative manner. The mentoring component was initiated in 1998 based on the belief that junior faculty can benefit from a professional relationship with a senior faculty who can help them navigate the complex academic environment, including the decisions and challenges of academic life, and the challenge of balancing personal needs with clinical, research, teaching and service obligations. Mentoring also helps foster a culture of community.
If you would like to participate in the Faculty Mentoring Program or receive information regarding the program, please contact the Office of Faculty Affairs via email FacultyAffairs@umassmed.edu or call (508) 856-3433.
