A systematic scoping review of mentor training in medical education between 2000 and 2024
This SSR in SEBA reiterates the critical role of mentor training and introduces evidence of its impact on the professional identity formation (PIF) of prospective mentors. It also highlights that more programs are employing longitudinal mentoring processes to guide the inculcation of desired mentoring characteristics amongst prospective mentors. These efforts to nurture the PIF of the prospective mentor-to better shape their future mentee's PIF-is novel and requires careful study.
