The Power of Mentorship
This week, we kick off a three-part series about how mentorship, coaching and sponsorship is shaping the next generation of pediatric leaders.
In this first episode, moderated by Valerie Opipari, MD, our expert panel dives into what makes mentorship effective and enduring. They answer:
- How does a mentor’s role differ from that of a coach or sponsor?
- How can young clinicians identify the right mentors to guide their careers?
- What traits define a successful mentor–mentee relationship?
Packed with practical insights and real experiences, this conversation offers inspiration and guidance for both mentors and mentees in academic medicine.
