As an Emerging Investigator, finding a great mentor and using them appropriately is a critical ingredient to the successful transition from mentored to independent researcher. If you are a mentor, you can find resources valuable to your development in the <a href=\"https:\/\/labs.icahn.mssm.edu\/earlyinvestigators\/mentors\/\">Mentorship for Mentors corner.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mentoring contributes significantly to your ability to realize your <strong>true potential<\/strong> in your field of interest and reflects a <strong>dynamic process<\/strong> between the mentor and the mentee that\u00a0requires clarity of <strong>shared and aligned expectations<\/strong>, a <strong>structured work plan<\/strong> as well as <strong>constructive communication<\/strong> and <strong>feedback<\/strong>, in order to optimize the benefits of the mentor mentee relationship. In the highly competitive world of academic medicine, having an effective mentor can serve to help ensure a productive outcome. <strong>By providing guidance, support and advocacy, your mentor can help you successfully navigate the academic research landscape and move forward professionally<\/strong>. The interest, knowledge, strategic advice and the support of a mentor coupled with your own realistic goal setting, and proactive participation in your mentoring relationship, can provide you with compelling opportunities for personal growth and career advancement.
