UWSOM - Department of Radiology Mentorship Program

 
Eric Stern with Jonathan Chung at RSNA 2008 in front of their award winning educational exhibit.

The goals of the Mentorship Program is to facilitate successful career growth and development by addressing the needs of all faculty, in all appointment tracks and pathways.  The mentoring program has specific implementation guidelines, outcome measurements, and built-in rewards and recognition for those who participate.  The primary relationship is based on a negotiated agreement between a mentor and mentee, and will include a description of the types of activities to be engaged, skills to be learned, and decisions regarding time and frequency of meetings and feedback sessions.

On these pages, you can find FAQs and a step-by-step guide for both mentors and mentees on the process.  This program complements the department Promotion Committee and annual faculty review, but does not replace either function.  In most cases, the Section/Division Chiefs will excecute the role of Primary Mentor for the members in their section, while a second formal mentorship can and should be established outside this relationship.

 

The Mentoring Process in 9 Easy Steps

  1. Mentee completes the Mentor Assignment Questionnaire  and sends to Mentoring Committee via email (uradment@u.washington.edu)
  2. Mentoring Committee makes mentor/mentee match and sends a letter of assignment to both.
  3. After accepting the match, the mentor and mentee meet and complete the Mentoring Agreement form.  A copy of the form will be kept for their records and the original forwarded to the Mentorship Committee (Attn:  Mentorship Program, Box 359728).
  4. Mentor and mentee meet and complete Mentoring Program Goals and Plan.  A copy of the form will be kept for their records and the original forwarded to the Mentorship Committee (Attn:  Mentorship Program, Box 359728).
  5. Mentor(s) completes written Development Plan.  A copy of the form will be kept for their records and the original forwarded to the Mentorship Committee (Attn:  Mentorship Program, Box 359728).
  6. Mentor and mentee meet regularly and document progress.
  7. Mentor and mentee complete and submit 6-month or 1-year evaluations.  A copy of the form will be kept for their records and the original forwarded to the Mentorship Committee (Attn:  Mentorship Program, Box 359728).
  8. Mentor(s) completes written Development Plan.  A copy of the form will be kept for their records and the original forwarded to the Mentorship Committee (Attn:  Mentorship Program, Box 359728).
  9. Mentor completes Achievement Letter and gives the original to the mentee and forwards a copy to Mentorship committee (Attn:  Mentorship Program, Box 359728).  At this time the mentor and mentee may choose to conclude or continue their mentor relationship.
