Faculty Mentoring

The faculty mentoring program at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School serves all instructors, assistant professors, and associate professors of all tracks with the goal of enhancing the professional accomplishments, career trajectory to promotion, faculty engagement, and satisfaction with their position at the school. The program was developed for Rutgers Health schools under the leadership of M. Maral Mouradian, MD, vice chancellor for faculty development at Rutgers Health. The program includes an Individualized Development Plan, a mentor mentee contract, and training for mentors.
