PSI Visiting Scholars Event
Academic Mentorship: Fostering Equity, Diversity & Inclusiveness

Hosted by McMaster Education Research, Innovation & Theory (MERIT) Program, McMaster Department of Medicine and McMaster Faculty Affairs

Sponsored by Physicians’ Services Incorporated (PSI)

This talk explores foundational ideas of inclusion and diversity within academic medicine. In addition to governance, leadership, education, policies and other structural changes, mentorship across a person's academic life span is critical to creating equitable and inclusive institutions. Innovative approaches to mentorship will be explored as well as mentoring across differences.
