Mission and Guiding Principles: Appoint the Best and Help Them to Success
• “The Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Ottawa is committed to growing as a leading University Department of Anesthesiology, both in Canada, and internationally. Key to this goal is supportive investment in the people who comprise our department. As such, we have created an early career faculty development and mentorship program to enhance the success and development of new faculty to become outstanding academic anesthesiologists. This program aims to provide a supportive, collaborative, and collegial environment to ensure the success of each new faculty member. Inherent in this mission is the explicit recognition that individual success will require Department-wide support and our successes will be shared successes. The aim of this program is to appoint the best and help you to success.”
Mentorship Plan Structure
• Areas for professional development include leadership, scholarship, education and clinical care
• One primary goal or three secondary goals to be achieved
• Goals are to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely (SMART)
• Review at every six months with faculty advisor• Aim to achieve promotion to Assistant Professor at
end of three years
Mentor vs faculty advisor
• Mentor: a trusted colleague who gives confidential advice on career guidance. Not necessarily more senior or in same specialty.
• Faculty advisor: individual who creates and assesses success with academic plan
• My own mentors: Vincent Chan, Joel Katz, Bob Byrick, Brian Kavanagh, Beverly Orser and others
