Receiving mentoring is positive associated with lasting career benefits for academic protégés; however, less is known about the connection to long-term career gains for mentors. In this study national sample of retired academics were surveyed to examine the associations between past mentoring behaviors and current evaluations of their careers. Participants (=277) were on average 73.6 (=6.2) years old with 34.9 (=8.0) years of occupational tenure and 7.7 (=5.8) years post-retirement. Structural equation modeling results demonstrated that having more protégés (=.19, =.024) and engaging in more mentoring behaviors (=.18, =.027) were associated with objective career achievements. However, mentoring behaviors, and not the number of protégés, were linked to subjective career achievements (β=.33, p<.001). Interestingly, previous mentoring experiences were not related to career satisfaction. While prior research demonstrates that mentors experience short-term benefits from mentoring, the present study's findings suggest that mentors may also experience long-term objective and subjective career benefits.

Teacher well-being has increasingly become a prominent research topic due to its significant impact on various teacher and student outcomes. This focus is particularly crucial for early career teachers, who often encounter numerous challenges at the beginning of their careers, leading to elevated levels of stress and burnout. Our study aimed to examine the relationship between social and emotional competencies and burnout of early career teachers and the potential mediating role of teacher self-efficacy in this relationship.

The discipline of ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB) has long grappled with issues of inclusivity and representation, particularly for individuals with systematically excluded and marginalized backgrounds or identities. For example, significant representation disparities still persist that disproportionately affect women and gender minorities; Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC); individuals with disabilities; and people who are LGBTQIA+. Recent calls for action have urged the EEB community to directly address issues of representation, inclusion, justice, and equity.

Objective: Summer research programs can support medical students' exposure to research and scholarly activity, and strengthen their applications for residency positions, particularly if students are able to generate peer-reviewed publications resulting from their summer experience. We aimed to estimate the rate of publication among medical student summer projects and identify any predictors of projects' progress to publication.
Methods: Projects were identified from abstract books published by five medical schools' summer research programs for rising second-year medical students.
Formal Mentorship in Surgical Training: A Long-Term Prospective Interventional Study.
J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
January 2025
Division of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
Objective: Surgical training programs have a high prevalence of trainee stress and burnout. Formal mentorship programs (FMP) have been shown to alleviate these factors and improve quality of life (QOL) in short-term follow-up. This study aims to determine the long-term effects of an FMP on the well-being of a single-center cohort of surgical trainees.
