PY - 2017 T2 - Principles and Practice of Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - The word “mentor” comes from Homer’s Odyssey, in which Odysseus entrusts his young son to the care of his close friend, Mentor. A transitional figure in the youth’s growth, Mentor acts as the son’s guardian and wise advisor, and through their mutual relationship the son develops his own identity. Good mentors have played key roles in the history of medicine and discovery, in the development of young doctors, and in the institutions that train physicians.
