Defining MentorshipWikipedia‐

“Mentorship is a personal developmental relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. However, true mentoring is more than just answering occasional questions or providing ad hoc help. It is about an ongoing relationship of learning, dialog, and challenge.”

MerriumWebster

“Mentor: a trusted counselor or guide”

Kimtionary:

Someone a person highly respects and trusts who one looks to for guidance, wisdom, encouragement, and/or assistance in one or multiple endeavors with which the mentee is unfamiliar or less experienced

The Importance of Feedback 

Providing feedback to students is vital to the learning experience

One study demonstrated the feedback needs of students were not met by preceptors

Meant to improve a targeted skill or behavior of the recipient 

It is not an evaluation

Novices vs. experts Novices seek and respond to positive feedback Experts seek negative feedback

Challenging student encounters

Case #1Lisa is a final‐year student pharmacist on a cardiology rotation with you. She is a high achiever and extremely engaged in her clinical skill development.  Prior to your rotation she has had 3 other rotations at your hospital. On day 1 of your rotation, she asks if she can spend some time in the cath lab with the team on Fridays since you won’t be there. However, given your high workload of patients on the floor and that she will be with a different preceptor on Fridays you feel it will be in her best interest to spend her time working up patients, doing discharge counseling, and completing other tasks that need to get done before the weekend. She agrees. When you return to work the next Monday, you discover Lisa went with the team to the cath lab after getting the okay from the pharmacist she was working with on Friday.
