Mentoring Women Graduate Students Seeking a Career in Substance Use Disorder Research

Recorded: Thursday, March 31, 2022 - Sunday, April 3, 2022
On-Demand Session

Overview

This 1-hour, on-demand session from the ASAM 53rd Annual Conference describes results from a mentoring pilot program for women addiction medicine researchers.

To increase participation of women, especial women of color, in full time SUD research careers, an extracurricular mentoring program (MP) was devevloped and implemented at a large state university for five women PhD students during Spring 2021. This MP included internal group meetings, guest speaker panels, readings, and written assignments. Additionally, mixed methods were implememted to evaluate the MP's impact on participant desire to seek a full time SUD research career, self-confidence in research, understanding of the research process, and awareness of the job application process. During this session, this MP's development, structure, evaluation, and lessons learned will be reviewed. This session is recommended for anyone considering development or improvement of a mentoring program, inside or outside of a university context.

The target audience for this Introductory level session includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, researchers, residents, fellows, students, and counselors.

This session addresses the following ACGME Competencies: System Based Practice.

  1. Describe components of a model program used for mentoring women interested in a SUD research career, including approaches for evaluating the mentoring program.
  2. Formulate questions and answers for planning a mentoring program.
  3. Summarize the challenges and opportunities of developing and implementing a mentoring program, including resource needs.
