A systematic scoping review of mentor training in medical education between 2000 and 2024.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Effective mentoring in medical education facilitates professional development amongst mentees and mentors, improves patient care and outcomes, as well as advances the reputation of the host organisation. Much of this success is guided, assessed and overseen by the mentor. Yet, mentor training remains inconsistent, poorly supported and often inadequately evaluated. Acknowledging mentor training as an essential aspect of mentoring programs, we propose a review to map current features and approaches to mentor training with the hopes of boosting the effective design of a proposed mentoring program.

Methods

PubMed, Scopus, Embase, PsycINFO and CINAHL database searches were conducted for articles published between 1^st January 2000 and 31^st March 20
