Jeffrey Ring, PhD - Health Psychologist, Leadership Coach, and Health Justice Champion, Los Angeles, CA

The following presentations aim to provide reflective space for participants to explore the power and importance of faculty roles in mentoring. More specifically, these sessions will explore the variations of mentoring, coaching, and sponsoring learners, and the requisite skills and behaviors for success. In addition, we will explore the research basis behind best practices for delivering feedback with assertiveness and compassion. These sessions will be crafted and facilitated to be playful, experiential, and engaging, with elements drawing from narrative educational approaches and skill practice. The sessions will also explore the impact of enlightened leadership, psychological safety and inclusion, and empathic communication on the mentor-learner relationship.

Wellness and Resilience Workshop for Graduate Students

*Mandatory for past and current T32 in CBMS Trainees; open to all graduate students.*

The learning objectives for this session will be: (a) Increase understanding of wellness and resilience and their influence on mentor-mentee interactions; (b) Recognize the impact of traumatic experiences on the mentor-mentee relationship and acquire skills to manage them, and (c) Identify concrete strategies for learning about and building resilience. Through a case study, participants will be able to experience first-hand how a graduate student went through a traumatic event and provide strategies to build resilience in dealing with the situation presented. In the end, some concrete resilience strategies will be shared with the participants.
