Khalili</a></p> <p>The CTSI Mentor Training Program is a comprehensive online program designed to train faculty <strong><em> to become the next generation of confident and effective clinical and translational research mentors.</em></strong> Faculty dedicated to clinical and translational research can apply for participation in the CTSI Mentor Training Program (MTP) offered annually.</p> <p>The CTSI MTP has created an integrated environment for senior mentors and mentors-in-training, encouraging creative and innovative networking, discussing a range of mentoring challenges and a myriad of solutions, developing a toolbox of strategies, and using discussions and collective experiences to build a community of mentoring excellence. </p> <blockquote> <p>The MTP answered not only the questions I knew to ask but also the questions I didn't know to ask! This is an essential program that every mentor needs.</p> <p>I will use what I learned in this program to focus my mentoring, allowing me to better choose my mentees and to be a more effective mentor to them.</p> <p>The MTP seminars helped me understand the issues among junior faculty and provided more systematic ways to deal with them. These are valuable experiences that I will most definitely incorporate into my own skills.</p> <span> <strong>Prior Mentors in Training</strong> </span> </blockquote> <p>The six core modules through web-based meetings provide an overview of the core competencies needed by mentors using learning objectives, readings (required and suggested), short lectures, videos of mentors and mentees, and exercises.</p> <h3>Seminar topics include:</h3> <ul> <li>Mentorship from the Beginning</li> <li>Mentoring Models and Mentor Selection</li> <li>Aligning Goals and Expectations</li> <li>Communicating Effectively with Mentees</li> <li>Dealing with Mentoring Challenges</li> <li>Mentoring Across Differences</li> </ul> <h3>Course Structure</h3> <p>4 virtual sessions (all Wednesdays, 3:00 – 5:00 pm via Zoom):</p> <ul> <li>April 14, 2021</li> <li>April 28, 2021</li> <li>May 12, 2021</li> <li>June 9, 2021</li> </ul> <p>Residency and fellowship directors and mentoring program leaders are also <em>strongly encouraged to apply</em>. </p><p class="button"><a href="https://ucsf.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3PrmtdTaKRxQhi5" style="margin-right:30px">Apply for MTP</a> Deadline: March 1, 2021</p> <p><img src="https://accelerate.ucsf.edu/sites/default/files/mtp2019graduationregular.jpg" width="500" /><br /> <a href="https://accelerate.ucsf.edu/training/mtp-people#mdp">MTP Graduates Spring 2019</a>  </p><h2 id="pubs">Publications about MTP</h2> <ul> <li>Feldman MD, Huang L, Guglielmo BJ, Jordan R, Kahn J, Creasman JM, Wiener-Kronish JP, Lee KA, Tehrani A, Yaffe K, Brown JS.
