Faculty Mentorship in Allied Health Schools: A Program Evaluation of a Mentorship Initiative.

Mentorship is an important career development resource for junior faculty and one that may be particularly important for those who begin their career as allied health clinicians before transitioning to academia. To support junior faculty at an allied health school, a formal mentoring program was established within a rehabilitation and counseling department. The program was started in response to a school-wide effort to promote faculty development and increase scholarly productivity.
