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.
