Mentors

The program values exposure to multidisciplinary training, collaborative research, ethics, knowledge translation and professional skills development. Mentors are critical to the success of the training program, they provide key mentorship by:

  • Supervising/co-supervising a student if requested, meeting with them regularly;
     

  • Facilitating a mentorship with a trans-disciplinary mentor from another discipline e.g. ethics, economics, political science, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, etc.;
     

  • Providing guidance to the student through one innovative knowledge translation project, throughout the year (the project could be a public presentation to a government ministry, medical school, or continuing education program, or an opinion/editorial article to a newspaper, or preparing an article submission for a journal, etc.)
     

  • Attending, where possible, a colloquium or at least a run-through presentation of student’s work prior to the colloquium.
     

  • Mentors commit a maximum of 5 hours a week to the mentoring process. Our mentors are internationally renowned Canadian scholars from a variety of relevant disciplines.
