Background
Method
Results
The mentees, mentors, and department chairs rated the mentees on impact of mentoring on the four domains. As rated by mentees, and with the exception of Systemic Thinking, all domains were significantly enhanced as a result of the mentoring program.
Conclusions
This prospective study on formal mentoring of medical school faculty demonstrated that a yearlong formal leadership mentoring program is an effective (p<.05) model for enhancing personal and organizational leadership and collegial relationships with academic physicians (mentees).
All seven mentees completed the 12 month program
