The Importance of Culturally Responsive Mentoring

iBiology and NRMN present “Mentoring to Diversify the US Biomedical Workforce”

Mentoring is essential to improving the success of underrepresented scientists. Join us on Monday October 5th, 2015 for a live Q&A to talk about culturally responsive mentoring and the importance of taking into account diverse cultural experiences to establish more effective mentoring relationships. Our esteemed panel of experts will discuss culturally responsive mentoring, why it matters and how it can help diversify the U.S. biomedical workforce.
