Mentoring is a relationship aimed at fostering the development of the less experienced person. The internal medicine community has recently recognized the importance of this relationship in the advancement of careers in the profession. Preliminary evidence points to the importance of mentoring in achieving the mentee's goals without much suggestion that it could be harmful. It can be particularly helpful to women and minority junior faculty. We encourage academic institutions to help forge these relationships by developing their own formal systems of mentoring and to evaluate and report their efforts.
导师指导是一种旨在促进经验不足者发展的关系。内科医学界最近认识到这种关系在该专业职业发展中的重要性。初步证据表明，导师指导对于实现学员的目标很重要，且没有太多迹象表明它会有害。它对女性和少数族裔初级教员可能特别有帮助。我们鼓励学术机构通过建立自己的正式导师指导体系来帮助建立这些关系，并对其努力进行评估和报告。
