As pharmacy education evolves, the challenge of facilitating its evolution with effective faculty mentorship persists. To meet the needs of the ever-changing landscape in pharmacy education, faculty mentorship must expand to include non-traditional forms such as informal, reverse, near-peer, interprofessional, and group mentorship, fostering inclusivity across career stages. We will address the challenges faced by diverse faculty and present evidence-based strategies for creating inclusive and effective mentorship to enhance faculty development and retention.
Objectives:
- Define non-traditional mentorship models (informal, reverse, near-peer, interprofessional, group) and determine which forms are most suitable for faculty at different stages in their career to achieve their academic goals of teaching, scholarship, and service.
- Analyze at least three challenges associated with mentorship for pharmacy faculty of various academic ranks and social/ethnic backgrounds.
- Compose a tailored solution for challenges identified with mentoring utilizing inclusive principles and evidence-based techniques from existing literature.
