Reducing Stress in Professional Mentoring Relationships

The April 17, 2018 issue of JAMA contains an article that offers valuable insight from the Section of Plastic Surgery and the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan titled, “Mentoring Millennials” (Waljee JF, Chopra V, Saint S. JAMA 2018;319:1547-1548). According to the authors, mentorship dyads may be compromised by generational issues of as-needed vs scheduled engagement, flat vs pyramidal infrastructure, and purpose vs process. The issues of inertia, hierarchy, busywork, subordination, uniformity, and isolation are discussed.
