Mentorship is not often included in healthcare settings as a major strategic priority, but it must be to achieve a culture of mentorship. There is a long-standing tradition of mentorship in academic health centers, most widely recognized in the well-established training model of physicians in medicine. A growing body of research documents the positive impact of mentorship on various outcomes, including research productivity, academic promotion, faculty retention, and career satisfaction. It is common for academic health centers not to have a mentoring program specifically designed for nurse practitioners or Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) but those that do have formal have been demonstrated to contribute to job retention and job satisfaction.
