Abstract

Mentoring is an activity that has many different interpretations. It is usually seen as a relationship that encourages the holistic development of a person. This means that the mentor role encompasses being an exemplary role model, a confidante who will support the mentee through any personal stresses and strains, a teacher, a developer of talent and an opener of doors.

Educational epidemiology: applying population-based design and analytic approaches to study medical education.

Conducting educational research in medical schools is challenging partly because interventional controlled research designs are difficult to apply. In addition, strict accreditation requirements and student/faculty concerns about educational inequality reduce the flexibility needed to plan and execute educational experiments. Consequently, there is a paucity of rigorous and generalizable educational research to provide an evidence-guided foundation to support educational effectiveness. "Educational epidemiology," ie, the application across the physician education continuum of observational designs (eg, cross-sectional, longitudinal, cohort, and case-control studies) and randomized experimental designs (eg, randomized controlled trials, randomized crossover designs), could revolutionize the conduct of research in medical education. Furthermore, the creation of a comprehensive national network of educational epidemiologists could enhance collaboration and the development of a strong educational research foundation.
