MENTORSHIP

Leadership and mentorship are key components of the TRIANGLE program.

Effective mentorship is foundational to future career success, within and outside of academia. TRIANGLE awardees will have access to multiple forms of mentorship from our partnering organizations along with GI and liver researchers who are now pursuing successful careers in many areas of academia, industry, government, non-profit, and entrepreneurship.

Mentorship Pods

TRIANGLE will bring together groups of mentors and mentees in pods to discuss specific topics via a case-based, open dialogue approach.

The mentoring pods will be run by a multidisciplinary team of outstanding mentors as program leaders and members of the TRIANGLE Executive, Curriculum, and Selection Committees. Mentoring will be provided by these leaders, as well as through peer-to-peer mentoring within pods. There are many advantages of mentoring pods. Participants:

  • gain access to new networks of peers and colleagues
  • feel greater connectivity with their colleagues
  • display reduced feelings of isolation
  • feel increased confidence and commitment
  • undergo accelerated career progression and knowledge acquisition
  • develop an improved understanding (and demystification) of academic culture

 

For mentors, pods better enable them to share knowledge and engender a diversity of opinion, expertise and relationship building that can better serve the mentees throughout their training.
