DZHK MENTORING PROGRAMMEIn March 2018 the DZHK Mentoring

Programme goes into its 5th year. For the

first time, the complete programme will

be held in English. The DZHK Mentoring

Programme is directed at young physicians

and scientists as well as at scientific man­

agement employees in or on the way to

their first leadership position. It accompa­

nies the participants for a period of one year

and focusses on their individual personality.

The participants become more familiar with

their social, communicative and professional

abilities. The three modules consisting of the

mentor­mentee­tandem, four qualification

workshops and personal coaching sessions

prepare them for challenging situations that

occur in leadership positions and personal lives.

The broad network within the DZHK enables

the mentees to compare the structures of their

own professional environment to that of others.

MENTORING► Tandem between a young academic at the beginning of her/his independent career

(mentee) and a highly qualified senior researcher (mentor)► Mentors share their professional knowledge and their experiences with less experienced

younger persons with the aim to support those mentees in their personal and professional

development► Broad range of topics like education/qualification, career, work/life­balance and personal

development► Benefits for mentees: Learning from mentor’s experience as well as access to informal

knowledge as valuable resources► Benefits for mentors: Young academic’s view on diverse aspects of the mentor’s profession­

al life; needs, aims and wishes of young researchers can be very stimulating and potentially

lead to new ideas for mentor’s own work► Benefits for both: Mentoring as a networking tool
