Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences and Translational Medicine

Mentors & Teachers

"Cedars-Sinai believes that a mentor must take an active role in the education, growth, and well-being of a student through the end of their program. The main focus of a mentor is to provide students with mentorship relevant to their selected area of research, so as to broaden their understanding of the translational implications of their field of study. Cedars-Sinai is so committed to mentoring that it adheres to the high-standards of the AAMC’s Compact between Biomedical Graduate Students and their AAMC Handbook"
