Additionally, we are proud to announce that the UNM Mentor Development Program, as partnered with the Mentoring ECHOs alongside the Academic and Community Faculty Scholars programs, has been recognized by the Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) as a promising practice!
Mentoring is widely recognized as essential to academic success, yet access to skilled mentors for faculty remains limited. To address this shortage, the UNM School of Medicine launched the Mentor Development Program, a structured initiative designed to expand mentoring capacity and improve the quality of mentorship across institutions in the Southwest and Mountain West. By partnering with Project ECHO, the Mentor Development Program has been scaled to faculty members from 13 institutions across seven states.
