Mentoring the Mentors: NUCATS Programming, Assessment, and Outcomes  

Mentoring in academic medicine has long been conceived of as both an expectation and “a given.” How mentoring is happening, if it is being done well, how it could be done differently, and how it can be improved have less often been explored. Director of NUCATS Mentoring Programs Kenzie Cameron, PhD., MPH, recently shared the innovative changes made to the mentoring programs offered through the NUCATS Institute and discussed the assessment and outcomes of current programs. The Translational Applications in Public Health lecture series is a collaboration between the Institute for Public Health and Medicine and the NUCATS Institute.
