Resource Spotlight

Have you had "the mentoring talk" with your supervisor? AAMC Postdoc Compact can help.

Association of American Medical CollegesIn 2006, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) developed the Compact Between Postdoctoral Appointees and Their Mentors as a tool for promoting the development of positive mentoring relationships between postdoctoral appointees and their mentors. The document itself, updated in January 2017, can be used in many ways, but it provides a starting point for discussion of the mentoring responsibilities a postdoc and her/his supervisor have TO EACH OTHER. 

At some institutions, it is used as a contract that both parties sign. Others use it to provide discussion prompts for the sometimes awkward "talk" about mentoring. How you use it is up to you. Feel free to blame it on the Postdoc Office for suggesting it! But think of it as a tool for starting and maintaining open communication with your PI/boss/supervisor/mentor, which in turn can help ensure that you have a productive and satisfying postdoctoral experience. 

You can download the AAMC Postdoc Compact HERE.
