learning skills that will make them competitivefor academic positions in higher education. The ability for graduate trainees to develop self-efficacy in teaching (individual beliefs regarding influence on student learning) is critical,supporting their transition to an independent academic career [9]. Consequently, the outcomesof relevant professional development programs for graduate students have great potential toinfluence next generation teaching approaches, and subsequent innovation in undergraduateeducation [10].Interestingly, and of relevance to our current model, self-efficacy varies for graduate students indifferent disciplines. It has been determined that a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,Math) environment is a negative predictor

individuals (90% PhD students and 10% Master’sstudents) from 26 countries found that graduate students were more than six times as likely toexperience depression and anxiety than the general population, with 39% reporting moderate-severe depression and 41% reporting moderate-severe anxiety (Evans et al., 2018). These globaltrends are also evident among graduate students in the United States. A study conducted at theUniversity of California Irvine revealed that over the prior 12 months, 9.9% of the graduatestudents had considered suicide (Louden & Skeem, 2008). Graduate students within science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines appear to be at an especially highrisk for experiencing mental health concerns (Deziel, Olawo
