Faculty Mentorship
UNM Family Medicine Residency
Role of Faculty Mentors
Formal faculty mentors are assigned to incoming interns based on clinic location and professional interests. Residents are encouraged to seek out additional mentors as they get to know members of the department and local community.
Mentorship Objectives - Resident Mentees
1. Discuss career interests and collect suggestions, guidance, and connections to aid in career development.
2. Have an outlet to discuss overall well-being.
3. Develop and discuss Individualized Learning Plans.
4. Discuss career planning and professional goals.

3. Assist in developing and implementing Individualized Learning Plans.
4. Facilitate career planning and achievement of career objectives.
Tracking requirements such as clinic and other encounter numbers, ABFM requirements, etc. are felt to be the responsibility of the resident and program, not the advisors.
Timeline of Meetings & General topics covered
Residents have specific times of the year they should be meeting with mentors and program leadership (program director, associate program directors). Specific topics are covered in these meetings, including feedback from the most recent Clinical Competency Committee (CCC) meetings. Residents can always set up additional meetings with both their advisors and/or program directors if they want to further discuss topics of interest.
