One of PROPEL's core tenents is strong mentorship. It is an important part of any career development, but especially at the post baccalaureate stage. Scholars at this stage are at a cross-roads; hoping to navigate career decisions while advancing in the field of science. Mentors serve as a guide to help scholar navigate these complicated and personal journeys, normalize struggles, identify and remove career roadblocks, and act as sources of inspiration.
THE ROLE OF CLINICAL MENTORS
All PROPEL scholars are already paired with a primary research mentor, but, if they are pursuing an MD/PhD they have the option of pairing with a clinical faculty mentor as well. Clinical mentors can offer a wide variety of support, including career navigation, access to clinical opportunities, and networking that would otherwise be difficult for the scholar to access. Our clinical mentors serve as a vital resource for our scholars and ensure the success of the entire PROPEL program.
