CAREER DEVELOPMENT

MICHR programs offer students, clinicians, and scientists a way to develop and enhance their careers as clinical and translational researchers. Post-doctoral career development programs, individual and group career development meetings, and research specialty topic seminars are available to clinical and basic science faculty and post-doctoral trainees.

Mentoring remains a challenging yet rewarding part of the educational process. MICHR provides a number of workshops and other experiences to students, faculty, and staff to help create, strengthen, and maintain mentor-mentee relationships.

Clinical & Health Mentors Recognized for Outstanding Support of Students and Fellows

The Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2013 MICHR Distinguished Clinical and Translational Research Mentor Award. The award was established last year to recognize and honor the efforts and accomplishments of U-M faculty members who demonstrate consistent, high quality research and career mentoring in areas of clinical and translational health research. 

Out of a very competitive field of remarkable and generous research leaders, each of whom contributes enormously to the research environment at U-M, MICHR selected nine individuals who meet the highest standard for clinical and translational research mentorship, including a demonstrated commitment to fostering the intellectual, creative, scholarly, and professional growth of their students, fellows, and trainees in clinical and translational research. 

The pool of 30 nominees represented a diverse group of U-M schools, including Nursing, Social Work, Dentistry, Public Health, LS&A, Pharmacy, and Medicine. Awards were presented at the 2013 Research Education Symposium on March 15. 

According to the NIH, having a good mentor is critical to every promising scientist, James O. Woolliscroft, Dean of the U-M Medical School, said at the symposium. “In addition to promoting and enabling scientific inquiry, a good mentor also provides advice and guidance to tackle the myriad of challenges that we all have faced in the development of our careers such as the balance of work and home life, working with collaborators and, of course, the inevitable rejection of papers and grants.”
