For mentees to be successful, it is critical that they understand what we are trying to teach them.  However, it can be difficult to know when and why a mentee lacks understanding of core concepts and processes. 

In this workshop, we will discuss how to:

1. Assess mentee understanding of core concepts and processes
2. Identify reasons for lack of understanding
3. Strategies for enhancing mentee understanding
