Graduate Student Supervision Workshop
Description
The quality of supervision of graduate students is receiving increased attention in educational circles and by funding agencies. Current trends are toward a more holistic view of supervision for thesis-based students and the development of best practices in student-centered supervision. This course is designed to provide insight, resources, and discussion on relevant topics of supervision, and to help participants develop their own individual Philosophy of Mentorship. This workshop starts with self-assessment, moves to online modules, followed up with a group session covering some case studies and discussion on possible ways to deal with commonly occurring issues related to graduate education. The focus for these discussions will be integrating "Student Centered Supervision” in the training model inherent in biomedical research.
Format
