Each division within the Department of Medicine will have a divisional mentorship facilitator. The mentorship facilitator will be a senior, impartial, and trusted individual who will facilitate the mentee/mentor relationship within the division. The divisional facilitator may not necessarily belong to the division that he/she is the mentorship facilitator for. The role of the mentorship facilitator is to assist physicians-in-chief and department division directors in recommending and maintaining mentoring relationships for faculty members. The mentorship facilitator is the first point of contact for the establishment of new mentor/mentee pairings, and also the go-to person should any challenges arise within these relationships.
Responsibilities:
Facilitate matching between mentees and mentors
Provide support to mentors/mentees on their relationship
Establish local system for documenting and tracking these pairs
Be a point of contact for any issues that may arise
Provide feedback to mentors and mentees as needed
Collect data-process and outcome (e.g. are meetings taking place, what is covered in these meetings, satisfaction, problems, etc.)
Attend mentoring seminars and workshops
Attend regular department-wide meetings of all mentorship facilitators
We are accepting applications from full-time clinical faculty members for this role in several divisions. Please contact dom.events@utoronto.ca for more information.
