Overview
In 2018 I was appointed to serve as Director of Faculty Development for the Department of Radiation Oncology, and among my responsibilities are to meet with all MD junior faculty and work with them to identify mentors, professional planning, and developing their annual individual development plans (IDPs). In 2019 I completed the Clinical & Translational Science Institute Mentor Training Program at UCSF. In 2018 I became a faculty mentor in the SF BUILD (Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity) Program, which is a project funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for Enhancing the Diversity of the NIH-funded Workforce program. The BUILD program focuses on scientific training of pre- and post-doctoral students, and mentees conduct research in mentors’ labs over 2 years. The program provides some funding for students’ research and presentation at meetings. I mentor diverse trainees, including post-doctoral fellows, clinical fellows, residents, medical students and pre-doctoral students.
