Here are five tips for finding a physician mentor, per the organization:
1. Seek them out: Good mentors in the field can be hard to find once you have finished training.
2. Look for variety: Look for mentors who can provide guidance in local fields as well as national, big picture advice.
3. Match the mentor to the situation: Reach out to those who have gone through the same training and programs.
4. Do not force it: If a mentor relationship does not work out, find someone who can better speak to your needs.
5. Expand the definition: Do not assume that age makes a good mentor; consider a variety of qualifying factors.
