Medical school offices of faculty development aim to facilitate the academic growth of junior faculty by fostering independent research, enhancing teaching skills, and bolstering career opportunities. The Rush Research Mentoring Program aims to achieve this goal at Rush University medical center by offering a broad resource armamentarium and creating an environment that fosters productive relationships between mentees and mentors. This article describes the program's structure, evaluation, outcomes, and the university vision for its future.
The program's contributions to the overall success of the University were measured by scholarly productivity, intramural and extramural funding, junior faculty retention, and mentee satisfaction with the program from its inception in 2006 until 2018.
Over 12 years, mentees have collectively received 639 grants. Of the 130 mentees who have completed the 5-year program and transitioned to program alumni, 65% have been retained as faculty members, with 40% receiving promotions to associate professor and 5% to full professor. Mentees report frequent use of the available resources and high satisfaction with the program.
We anticipate that structured mentoring programs with institutionally supported professional development activities and strategic mentor-mentee partnerships can be successfully adopted at similar academic medical centers.
医学院的教师发展办公室旨在通过促进独立研究、提高教学技能和加强职业机会，促进初级教员的学术成长。拉什大学医学中心的拉什研究指导计划旨在通过提供广泛的资源和营造促进学员和导师之间富有成效的关系的环境来实现这一目标。本文介绍了该计划的结构、评估、成果以及大学对其未来的设想。
该计划对大学整体成功的贡献是通过学术成果、内部和外部资金、初级教员保留率以及学员对该计划的满意度来衡量的，该计划从 2006 年开始实施，一直持续到 2018 年。
在 12 年的时间里，学员总共获得了 639 项资助。在完成为期 5 年的计划并过渡到计划校友的 130 名学员中，65%的学员作为教员留任，其中 40%获得副教授晋升，5%获得教授晋升。学员报告说经常使用可用资源，对该计划非常满意。
我们预计，具有机构支持的专业发展活动和战略性导师-学员伙伴关系的结构化指导计划可以在类似的学术医疗中心成功采用。
