Regardless of a faculty member's career stage, effective mentoring is critical for successful professional development and a thriving academic career. Traditional mentor-mentee relationships can be effective but may present challenges for some faculty depending on their individual needs and institutional resources. The use of peer mentoring circles, where group members serve as both mentor and mentee, may provide additional resources and benefits to faculty at all career stages and appear especially beneficial for women faculty because of their focus on interconnectedness and collaboration. However, literature is scarce regarding effective mentoring strategies for women pharmacy faculty. As members of one women faculty-only peer mentoring circle, we describe our experiences using this mentoring strategy and offer recommendations for other faculty members considering this approach.
无论教员处于何种职业阶段，有效的指导对于成功的职业发展和蓬勃发展的学术生涯都至关重要。传统的师徒关系可能有效，但根据教员的个人需求和机构资源，对某些教员来说可能会带来挑战。使用同伴指导圈，即小组成员既是指导者又是被指导者，可能会为处于所有职业阶段的教员提供额外的资源和益处，并且由于其对相互联系和合作的关注，对女性教员似乎尤其有益。然而，关于女性药学教员有效指导策略的文献却很匮乏。作为一个仅限女性教员的同伴指导圈的成员，我们描述了使用这种指导策略的经验，并为其他考虑采用这种方法的教员提供建议。
