An Experiential Experiment with Mentor Program Pods
The mentorship pod program described here has demonstrated the benefits of implementing a purposeful mentorship program for experiential faculty members, recognizing the unique challenges they face, along with positive logistical considerations such as meetings continuing if 1 person could not participate at the last minute, and facilitation of expanded networks beyond 1 mentor/mentee relationship. Participants have found value in the program, which can serve as a template for other pharmacy faculty members in specialized roles or EE faculty in other professions.
