Mentoring Committees and Three and Six Year
Reviews

Mentoring Committees

  mentoring committee.
• The goal of the committee is to provide the
  junior faculty member with a critical assessment
  of his/her progress.
• Two senior faculty, including one from the same
  department.
• Meet annually.
• The committee must provide annual written reports
  to the faculty member, the department Chair and
  (where appropriate) the Program
  Coordinator/Division Director.

13
LCME Self-Study Regarding Feedback

• A survey was sent to all junior faculty in April
  2006.
• The response rate was 52.

Believes that mentoring committees should be a
requirement.
