Academic Medicine: Rationale and Models for Career Advancement Sponsorship in Academic Medicine

September 11, 2018 by Rebecca Lopez Leave a Comment

An article from Academic Medicine differentiates mentorship from sponsorship in academic medicine. While the former centers on personal and professional development (e.g., skill-building and goal-setting), the latter concept targets overall career advancement through an understanding of organizational structures, by enhancing one’s visibility, credibility, and professional networks. The authors detail the gender disparities that exist in sponsorship, with men more likely to receive sponsorship. They discuss two existing sponsorship models and call for their broader, more equitable implementation.

September 7, 2018 by Rebecca Lopez Leave a Comment

This Inside Higher Ed article addresses a tricky topic for graduate students and postdocs searching for a faculty position – determining how much time to dedicate to the search. Of course, temporary positions such as adjunct teaching or visiting professorships are valuable opportunities in their own right and can serve as stepping stones on the track to a faculty position.
