“Round Table: Diversity in Mentorship”

Drs. Corbie-Smith, Eng and Cykert will lead off by offering thoughts on the following questions:

  1. What structural components of the academy are barriers to career development that we should be aware of, consider, or disrupt in our mentorship?
  2. How do we ensure that a welcoming and inclusive environment is conveyed through our mentorship structures?
  3. What can we do as mentors to help eliminate the inequities described in these articles?

Then we will open up the floor for questions and discussion with the group.
