In this small sample both established and aspiring physician leaders believed that mentorship and role modeling played a significant role in their career development.
Abstract
In our small sample both established and aspiring physician leaders believed that mentorship and role modeling played a significant role in their career development. Short, focused "strategic" mentoring relationships were favored by many over the classic longitudinal experience. Our participants valued role-modeling as an experience separate from mentoring and described the impact of learning from direct observation of skilled leaders. The educational implications of these findings are summarized.
