摘要

Purpose of Review

To review recent evidence on effective mentorship practices in urology fellowship training, with emphasis on mentorship qualities, structured programs, and equity considerations.

Recent Findings

While few studies have examined mentorship specifically within urology fellowship, available evidence suggests that effective mentorship is dynamic and characterized by accessibility, alignment with mentee goals, and reciprocal engagement. Access to formal mentorship may reduce burnout and improve trainee well-being. Structured surgical mentorship programs have been associated with shortened learning curves and successful surgical outcomes. Diversity-focused initiatives have demonstrated success in improving representation in urology, yet disparities in mentorship access remain for women and underrepresented groups.

Summary

Mentorship in urology fellowship can improve trainee well-being, foster career development, and support equitable representation. Collaborative efforts across subspecialty societies to expand structured mentorship models and establish standardized evaluation may strengthen training outcomes and reduce disparities in mentorship access and quality.
