Career Development Core
The Career Development Core aims to use a distance-learning approach to provide a mentoring program and a modular curriculum providing foundational knowledge in aging and cancer.
- Mentorship Curriculum: I-REACH will use the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) curriculum, an evidence-based mentorship program. The curriculum includes discussing mentoring philosophy and planning, enhancing work-life integration, promoting professional development and developing mentorship contracts and relationships. This training will be required for all Scholars and mentors and will be provided to all I-REACH faculty.
- Modular Curriculum: This curriculum will integrate aging and cancer in a multi-level framework, highlighting the opportunities for research, resources and collaboration.
