This March, we are exploring the theme of mentorship. We are joined by two guest hosts, Deejay and Andrew, who are both first-year medical students and members of the Building Equitable Access to Mentorship (BEAM) program here at UWSMPH. We talk with Dr. Angela Byars-Winston, a tenured faculty member in the Division of Medicine and a leading researcher in advancing diversity goals and mentorship in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. She walks us through the science of mentorship, the history of the BEAM program, and her own experiences with mentorship in her career.
You can find the resources Dr. Byars-Winston discusses at cimerproject.org.
