Where

This is an external event held by NIH OITE.

About the Series

The goal of this series is to provide trainees with the resilience tools needed to study and work in high-knowledge environments. The material will help trainees develop well-being, assertiveness, and feedback skills with the goal of improved relationships in research groups and beyond. The series is helpful for trainees and fellows at all levels. The series is also helpful for fellows who supervise others and wish to develop strong mentoring skills for the future. There are five sessions in the series. Each session includes a lecture followed by a facilitated small group discussion, allowing trainees to share their experiences and learn from peers.  While it is best to attend the entire series, you may attend individual sessions. Trainees who participate in all five lectures and attend at least four small group discussions will receive a certification of completion.

Session topic

We all need mentors to support and encourage us throughout our educational and career journey. In this webinar, we will talk about the mentoring relationship in research environments with a focus on improving your relationship with your PI, finding mentors, and improving communication and interpersonal interactions. The webinar will help clarify what you need from your supervisors and mentors and address how to get what you need from these important interactions.

This event counts toward the Postdoctoral Professional Development Certificate (*HW, CP, PC)
