What is the Mentoring Training?
Our Mentoring training is designed for clinical research professionals—including physicians, nurses and study coordinators with at minimum 5 years of experience in clinical trial—who want to provide guidance and support to their peers. The training equips participants with the skills, knowledge and ethical framework needed to mentor colleagues effectively, fostering professional growth, community engagement and retention. Mentoring in this context focuses on sharing experience, guiding reflective thinking, and supporting mentees without providing direct clinical advice or making decisions for them.
