Mentorship in Surgery

Mentorship in surgery involves experienced surgeons guiding less experienced ones to develop their clinical skills, knowledge, and professionalism. A mentor provides support, shares expertise, and offers feedback to help the mentee improve their surgical techniques and decision-making. This relationship fosters learning, confidence, and ethical practice, ultimately ensuring better patient care. It’s a collaborative process built on trust and communication, often lasting throughout the mentee’s training and early career, helping them grow into competent and confident surgeons.
