How to Join the Program
Eligibility
Mentees are Assistant Professors or Acting Assistant Professors at Stanford
University School of Medicine.
Mentors are Associate Professors or Full Professors in the University Tenure Line, the Medical Center Line, or the Research, Clinical or Teaching Lines of the School of Medicine.
Choice of mentors
In the candidate's offer letter, a temporary mentor will be assigned
by the department chair or division head to each newcomer. The mentee
may remain with this original mentor indefinitely or may add another
mentor at any time. Mentors may be changed without need to state a
reason.
Use the Web to find a list of faculty in your department or elsewhere in the school and to look up faculty with research interests in your field. (Some departments do not have suitable information on the Internet; if necessary, contact Dr. Tompkins for a printed list.) Choose a mentor from among the Professors and Associate Professors and contact Dr. Vistnes or Dr. Tompkins to ascertain that your chosen mentor is willing to work with you. They almost always are. Faculty members who do not have access to the Web can obtain this information through the office of Dean Linda McLaughlin, Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs.
