Pilot mentoring program to start in pediatrics

- By Krista Conger

Junior faculty members and instructors in the Department of Pediatrics are invited to participate in the Child Health Research Program's Pilot Pediatrics Mentoring Program. The one-year program, begun Oct. 10, is dedicated to the academic success and career development of early-career investigators by providing a 'stable' of mentors to supplement primary mentors.

Mentors include Harvey Cohen, MD, PhD, former chair of pediatrics and chief of staff at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital; Richard Moss, MD; Laura Bachrach, MD; Louanne Hudgins, MD; Elizabeth Mellins, MD; Stephen Roth, MD; Eric Sibley, MD, PhD; Krisa Van Meurs, MD, and Christy Sandborg, MD, director of CHRP.

The program is funded by the pediatrics department, CHRP, the School of Medicine, and the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health.
