Mentoring Committee

Mission
The aim of the WIMS Mentoring Program is to enhance and support, not replace or duplicate, the School of Medicine's department based faculty mentoring programs, as well as mentoring services offered within the School of Nursing or School of Health Professions. Under the leadership of Susan K. Pingleton, MD, FACP, Master Fellow, ACCP, the Joy McCann Professor of WIMS, this program is currently under development by the WIMS Mentoring Committee to help our female faculty members achieve academic career success and satisfaction.

The program mission is to promote professional and personal development of women faculty members, offering mentoring services to all faculty, male or female, which will enrich, enhance and expand the department based programs with alternative support for various projects, topics, or issues related to women faculty.
