Program Mentors

In the second half of the program, each National Center of Leadership in Academic Medicine (NCLAM) junior faculty member is matched with a senior faculty mentor to work on a Professional Development Contract (PDC) that encompasses a major part of their personal strategic plan. Two hundred and five faculty have participated as mentors from departments within the School of Medicine, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, as well as other schools within UC San Diego.
