Comments MITS: “The MDP answered not only the questions I knew to ask but also the questions I didn’t know to ask! This is an essential program that every mentor needs. ” “I will use what I learned in this program to focus my mentoring, allowing me to better choose my mentees and to be a more effective mentor to them. ” “The MDP seminars helped me understand the issues among junior faculty and provided more systematic ways to deal with them. These are valuable experiences that I will most definitely incorporate into my own skills. ” Senior Mentors Advice: “Your lack of planning is not my emergency; You are getting a reputation for not meeting deadlines. Is this the reputation you want to have? ; Be supportive & challenging; Beware of mentors who eat their young; There are no “free lunches”: a bad mentee is far worse than no mentee” 12
