Mentoring is a critical factor for faculty success in academic medicine. Strong mentorship is associated with work productivity, personal development, and career satisfaction (AAMC). Documentation of mentoring excellence can also be included as part of a promotion and tenure portfolio.
The award will be given to a faculty member who has mentored and guided significant numbers of mentees, and/or who has demonstrated extraordinary leadership in developing departmental /school mentoring programs. Such achievement, commitment and effort can be demonstrated by quantitative/qualitative data documents or demonstrated through mentee, colleague, and supervisor letters of recommendation using the following (but not limited to) criteria:
The Mentoring Excellence Award call will come out with the annual spring call for MCG Faculty Senate award nominations. The recipient will be announced at the annual MCG Faculty Senate Awards presentation.
