Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the perceptions of participants in a pharmacy teaching certificate program regarding mentor-mentee relationships.
- To identify key characteristics mentees seek in a professional mentor.
Main Methods:
- A 15-item survey was distributed to all participants of the Indiana Pharmacy Teaching Certificate (IPTeC) program (2014-2015).
- 100% of participants (83/83) completed and returned the survey.
Main Results:
- The vast majority of participants (99%) considered a professional mentor very important or important for their professional development.
- Mentees prioritized mentors with similar clinical (82%) and research (66%) interests, and availability for face-to-face meetings (90%).
- Mentor demographics like age, race, and gender were not considered important by mentees.
Conclusions:
- Participants in pharmacy teaching certificate programs place significant value on mentorship.
