Are You a Good Physician Mentor? Why it Matters to You and Your Protege

Are you someone’s mentor? It’s a good bet you COULD and SHOULD be acting as mentor to a junior colleague, a new physician in your organization, or even a colleague you consider a peer but who is taking on a new role or experiencing a professional crisis that you may have gone through yourself at one time.
