Excellent mentoring is key to the development of successful physician scientists. The PCCSDP maintains regular contact with mentors who are interested in training scholars in the PCCSDP, and the Program Director will assist applicants in identifying mentors who will be most beneficial for the applicant.
Applicants may also identify outstanding mentors who are not on the PCCSDP roster. We strongly encourage applicants to explore opportunities that are outside their fellowship institutions to gain more diversity with respect to research and clincal aspects of critical care.
The PCCSDP is interested in recruiting outstanding mentors to be added to this roster, with evaluation and consideration by the National Advisory Committee. For inquiries from potential mentors or academic advisors of young faculty, please contact the program director at mike.dean@hsc.utah.edu indicate "PCCSDP Mentor Inquiry" as the subject of the email (this will avoid spam filters and assure a prompt response from Dr. Dean).
The criteria for selection of mentors includes:
- A record of outstanding scientific accomplishment
- A strong funding history (preferably from NIH)
- Scientific interests relevant to pediatric critical care
- Demonstrated excellence in training young faculty scientists
