Abstract:
Mentorship and sponsorship are part of academia because they are vital for professional and personal development. Inclusive mentorship is defined as mentoring across differences. It highlights the need of all mentors to be well-versed culturally and to recognize and circumvent bias and microaggressions. Inclusive mentorship can also elevate underrepresented populations in medicine and create intercultural relationships that also benefit the relationships we have with our diversifying patient populations. There are still several barriers prohibiting inclusive mentorship from being widely understood and employed. This article discusses the importance of and techniques for improving inclusive mentorship.
