I swear … to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement:
To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art
A mentor interacts one-on-one with a mentee and offers wisdom, guidance and encouragement
In doing so, the mentor frequently comes to know the mentee on a personal level
Increased mentoring associated with increased overall satisfaction with resident training
Lack of mentorship associated with a loss of interest in pursuing a career in academia
Mentorship helps with: ◦ career decisions; finding a job; productivity with research; promotion; reducing stress
Symbiotic relationship aimed at advancing careers and career satisfaction for both the mentor and the mentee
Dynamic, collaborative, reciprocal relationship focused on a mentee's personal and professional development
Can develop either spontaneously, based on mutual interests, or be set up institutionally
On the field (not in the classroom) ◦ In clinic / in the hospital / in the lab
Not by email
Sometimes on a list of “potential mentors”
Corporate concept Requires the mentee to take responsibility for his/her part in the collaborative alliance and to be the leader of the relationship by guiding and facilitating the mentor's efforts to create a satisfying and productive relationship for both parties
