Mentoring to Support Better Grant Applications
SCTR sponsors the Annual Mentorship Training Symposium, a forum for mentors and mentees to engage with peers and experts on different aspects of mentoring and career development.
Attendees hear from thought leaders and faculty experts on best practices, tips for mentoring success, and examples of mentorship ingenuity. The symposium incorporates group discussion, panel talks, and hands-on workshops to promote useful skills and advice for mentors and mentees. All faculty and mentees at MUSC, and our partners and affiliates, are invited and encouraged to join this annual half-day virtual event.
