The International Mentoring Association will host its 2022 Conference on Feb. 22-23, 2022 in Gainesville, FL. There is abundant content that will be of interest to members of the CTSA Network. In particular, Dr. Christine Pfund will be leading a Pre-Conference Workshop and will provide one of our Keynote Presentations.
Dr. Christine Pfund is a Senior Scientist with the Wisconsin Center for Education Research and is Director of the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She was a member of the National Academies committee that published the consensus report and online guide, The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM. Dr. Pfund is also the Principal Investigator of the NIH-funded National Research Mentoring Network Coordination Center and is an international leader in research on developing, implementing, documenting, and studying interventions to enhance mentoring in clinical and translational science. She published a randomized control of a mentor development program and co-authored a facilitator manual for this training, which is widely used across the Clinical Translational Science Award Network.
In addition to her Keynote presentation, Dr. Pfund is leading an interactive Pre-Conference Workshop entitled Optimising Your Mentorship Practice, in which participants will: 1) Learn about national models for mentor and mentee training and evidence of their effectiveness; 2) Engage in discussions of ways to optimize their mentoring practices; and 3) Explore resources available for mentor and mentee education including the newly released report from the National Academies.
We hope you will attend the conference and continue to enhance the outstanding mentoring efforts of the CTSA Network. For more information on the IMA Conference, including Pre-Conference Workshops, please visit: https://www.eventsquid.com/event/13684.
