Abstract

In this editorial, we propose metabolic mentorship as an umbrella term, which includes all activities that are undertaken inorder to achieve and maintain metabolic health. Metabolic mentorship includes not only conventional medical prescription,but also education, counseling and support for effective self-management. Metabolic mentorship facilitates value-addedtherapy (VAT), i.e, the nonpharmacological and pharmacological interventions that help ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes.From a pedagogic perspective, metabolic mentorship implies the learning that health care professionals can gain by interactingand sharing experiences with each other. We suggest that endocrinologists take the responsibility of spearheading metabolicmentorship within, and beyond, the health care sciences
