Mentoring Program for Faculty

The Mentoring Program is housed within the Office of Faculty and Institutional Affairs. The goal of the Mentoring Program is to support the academic success, advancement and scholarship efforts for School of Medicine faculty at all career stages.  

Faculty interested in finding a mentor can apply on-line by completing either the clinical or basic science application and submitting a copy of their current CV. Upon receiving the application and CV, the program requests input from the Mentorship Committee to determine up to three potential faculty mentors. Potential mentors are contacted by the program to determine their availability to provide consistent mentoring. The program selects mentors based on the mentees needs and goals that align with mentors’ areas of expertise. Once mentors have been selected, mentees are introduced to their mentors via email, and mentees contact the mentors to set-up an initial meeting. The program recommends a minimum of quarterly meetings for one year, but the meeting frequency is individualized to meet the needs and scheduling considerations of the mentees and mentors. At the end of the year, the program requests feedback to determine the effectiveness of mentoring in meeting the needs of the mentee.   

If you are interested in participating in the mentoring program or would like more information, contact Dr. Michelle Moore (mbacon@lsuhsc.edu) or Dr. Amy Creel (acree1@lsuhsc.edu), Assistant Deans for Faculty Affairs.
