Manual for mentoring seminar is available
A manual for conducting a seminar that is designed to teach mentoring skills to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty has been developed by The Wisconsin Program for Scientific Teaching with support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. The manual, Entering Mentoring: A Seminar to Train a New Generation of Scientists, was written by Jo Handelsman, Christian Pfund, Sarah Miller Lauffer and Christine Maidl Pribbenow, all of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It may be downloaded at www.hhmi.org/grants/pdf/labmanagement/entering_mentoring.pdf.
The seminar has been offered 22 times at 11 institutions over a two and a half year period. An article, "The Merits of Training Mentors," by the above authors and Janet Branchaw, UW-Madison, which discusses the outcome of this effort, was published in Science on January 27, 2006.
