Navigating Mentoring Relationships: Strategies for Uncharted Terrain

BU's Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Program

Working with mentors (advisers, PIs, supervisors, etc.) is an integral part of being a graduate student or postdoc, but sometimes these relationships present challenges. In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn strategies for examining power dynamics, improving communication, and identifying problems in your mentoring relationships. Our three presenters will answer your questions and share their expertise in break-out sessions:

Sarah Hokanson, PhD (Director of Professional Development & Postdoctoral Affairs); Francine Montemurro (University Ombuds); Isidore Berenbaum, MD (Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry); Kaila Rudolph, MD, MPH (Attending Consultation-Liaison Psychiatrist at Boston Medical Center)
