Pathways to Success: Cultivating Excellence through Workplace Mentorship

Mentorship is a tool that can be used to catapult the trajectory of your career (for new and seasoned clinicians). Employees with mentors tend to have more positive career outcomes and professional attitudes. Yet, it is a tool that not a lot of clinicians have access to. A workplace mentorship program combats that and aims to promote the development of clinical and leadership skills. Within the program, clinicians (of all experience levels), come together to engage in meaningful conversations and learning activities. The goals of the mentorship program are to create strong leaders within the profession and to equip clinicians with the tools they need to perform at the top of their license. Clinicians find themselves placed on a pathway to success as they participate in the program. Finding fulfillment from the vast opportunities to engage in clinical learning and in the pursuit of leadership opportunities (through applying to become a Mentor or Lead Mentor). Creating a workplace mentorship program is possible, and more employers should consider the vast benefits that come along when you use mentorship to cultivate success for your team of clinicians.
