Fireside Chat 2
Meaningful Mentorship: Stories of Support and Success in Medical & Graduate Education
Facilitator: Elisha Jaeke, BS
Guest: Jessica Olson, PhD, MPH
After a deep dive into the faculty database, Elisha Jaeke – a first-year medical student at the time – found herself face-to-face with the faculty member who would soon become her compass. As the first in her family to graduate from college, pursuing the additional unknown of medical school was intimidating to say the least. Thankfully, she now had an extraordinarily ambitious and generous person in her corner. Elisha left that first meeting knowing that she had won the mentorship equivalent of the lottery. Dr. Jessica Olson is a physiologist and micro-RNA scientist by training, but as Assistant Professor of Community Health within the Institute of Health and Equity, Dr. Olson has expanded her work to the multilevel reduction of health disparities. Her unique background and training, combined with her fierce commitment to supporting and uplifting underrepresented scholars, make her an incredible mentor. Dr. Olson is an expert connector and uplifter, and she is an anchor in times of stress and uncertainty. Throughout this hour-long interview with the mentor by the mentee, Elisha will highlight the ways that Dr. Olson’s approach to mentorship has been lifechanging for her and for numerous other students who benefit from knowing Dr. Olson. Not only will this fireside chat provide the warm, fuzzy feelings of meaningful connection, but it will also provide concrete take-aways for students seeking meaningful mentorship and staff/faculty members seeking to mentor more effectively.
