Group Peer Mentoring Program

Group Peer Mentoring (GPM) Program is a faculty development program lead by Kimberly Bloom-Feshbach, M.D. for Weill Cornell faculty. Facilitated group peer mentoring has been shown in the literature to lead to career advancement, improve physician vitality, and have benefits in the realms of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

  • Participate in regular faculty development workshops from October 2024-May 2025
  • Meet with peers for 30-60 minutes between sessions 
  • Develop career vison aligned with your core values, strengths, and identities 
  • Create individually tailored goals for professional development
  • Engage in mentoring and leadership skills related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)
  • Learn effective approaches to negotiation, feedback, and team leadership 
  • Gain enhanced meaning in work within a scholarly community
