What is mentoring
Manage episode 290032299 series 2911492
Takeaways from today's episode:
- A mentor is a wise and trusted counsellor or teacher who is willing to share knowledge and experiences about their life, career and also provides guidance and support.
- Alternative strategies such as peer, group and virtual mentorship address skills and resource limitations while enabling scalability and access to diverse pools of mentors worldwide.
- Mentorship in LMICs should be included in research integrity frameworks mandating institutions develop opportunities and supportive environments for mentoring.
- In order to develop a critical mass of mentors, develop a clear vision, use existing mentoring models, implement according to local needs and resources, and establish lessons learnt.
- It is impossible to build research and capacity without mentoring and LMICs need to develop structured processes for mentorship.
- To deal with hierarchical and cultural barriers we need to address verticality and gender issues, appreciate the importance of diversity and inclusivity, and develop an embracive culture encompassing young professors who understand the value or mentoring.
