    Mentorship makes a difference. Faculty who receive formal mentoring are significantly more likely to stay at their institutions for the next one to two years compared to those who receive informal or no mentoring, according to AAMC StandPoint™ Surveys data.  

    Faculty with a formal mentor reported higher levels of engagement and workplace satisfaction, yet only 37% of 2020-2022 survey respondents reported receiving formal mentoring.  

    In honor of National Mentoring Month, explore the AAMC StandPoint™ Surveys: 2023 State of Medical School Faculty Engagement report to learn more about how assessing factors that drive faculty engagement and retention regularly can help medical school leadership create positive change in their workplaces.

    Thanks so much for sharing this @Valerie Dandar - what a great way to honor National Mentoring Month!  I also want to remind our members that we offer in informal mentor match program here in the virtual community. It's an easy and intentional way to connect to others here. We thank our current mentors and mentees who are active in the program and encourage more of you to take advantage of the opportunity to connect in a more meaningful way through this platform! Mentor Match Program - Thrive
