Chair, Department of Family Medicine

"Being a mentor keeps me connected to my colleagues and learners, and provides me with an opportunity to support people at all stages of their career. Witnessing my mentees achieve their personal and professional goals doesn't just make me feel proud, it inspires and encourages me to do better. I'm sure I get just as much (if not more) from my mentees as they get from me. This is the work that truly matters."

Vice Chair for Research & Quality, Department of Medicine

"I have had the fantastic good fortune of having wonderful mentors in my career, and the opportunity to mentor a variety of learners at all stages of their careers. My primary mentor was the lead for my General Medicine Fellowship. He modeled kindness, patience, commitment, and most importantly, allowed each of his protégés to grow into themselves, meaning we did not need to work in his area of interest. He is an expert at pushing just a bit, so that the learner gets neither overwhelmed nor complacent. I have tried to model this sort of mentoring during my career. One of the amazing things about being a mentor is seeing people develop their confidence and “launch” into the next stage of their career. I’m incredibly grateful for these relationships."
