Summary/ Quote: The goal of this series of three mentor skills workshops is to clarify the role of the mentor, learn mentoring skills and discuss cases you may encounter in your daily mentoring practice. The training will provide focus on skills and tools that FHML mentors use to guide students.
Why you should attend this workshop:
At the end of this series of workshops you are:
• Able to form a good relationship with your mentee;
• Able to assist your mentee in critically and thoroughly reflecting (STAR) on their own actions;
• Experienced in guiding mentees as they prepare specific learning objectives (SMART);
• Able to provide actionable feedback;
• Able to reflect on your own role as a mentor
What can you expect during the workshop: We engage in active group discussion about the role of the mentor, the role of the student and the relationship between them. These discussions are stimulated with video clips of student interviews, recordings of so-called 'critical incidents' and case studies. Mentors are also encouraged to discuss issues from their daily practice with fellow mentors.
Who should attend? This mandatory course is intended for new mentors of FHML's bachelor and master programs. A separate course is organized for mentors in the master of medicine.
Anything required?
- Completion of the introductory course “Principles of PBL”
- You can only participate if you hold an active mentoring role during the period these workshops run. Supervising two or three students for a short period is not within the scope these workshops. (Thesis) Supervisors are advised to take the course “Thesis supervision and assessment”. Please indicate in the ‘comments’ box on the registration form for which program (e.g. medicine) you are mentoring this year.
