Description

Since Fall 2020, the Interdisciplinary PhD Program in Biostatistics at The Ohio State University has implemented a new student mentoring program. Though the program was initially established for Math Alliance scholars, we have made the program available to all incoming students. In this presentation, I will discuss the challenges and successes we experienced in establishing, implementing, and maintaining our program. I will also summarize feedback we have received from mentees and areas for improvement.
