How many mentors are trainees required to have?
Predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees must have two mentors. These mentors are designated as primary and secondary. Primary mentors must be senior faculty (tenured professors); secondary mentors may be junior faculty (tenure track) or senior faculty. Both mentors must be appointed to training faculty status for this training program. It is preferable, although not required, for the mentors to be affiliated with two separate institutions in the GCC, as this training program is designed to draw from the unique and complementary strengths of the GCC institutions and the program’s training faculty. Trainees may have a tertiary mentor; that person does not need to be a member of this program’s training faculty.
