Abstract
To evaluate the state of mentorship in the field of urology. Mentorship has been shown to decrease burnout, increase recruitment of underrepresented minority groups, and have a positive influence on the career trajectory of mentees. Approximately half of surgical residency programs have mentorship programs. The current literature supports the idea that formal mentorship programs are successful based on level 1 satisfaction scores. However, studies are sparse and of low quality. Mentorship program success is rarely objectively measured. Structured mentorship programs appear to be beneficial, but require serious planning, evaluation, and ongoing support without which the programs can fail. Future research should be focused on objective and measurable metrics of success.
