Admin Roles and Expectations – Clinical Care/Education Mentoring Committee

A lot of questions come up about what role each administrative contact may play in the mentoring committee process. This depends on a lot of variables, like how hands-on the faculty person is in terms of managing their calendar, how familiar they are with the process, and how they prefer to draft their materials (either with you or on their own).
