To stimulate the discussion on the implementation of mentoring models for women in psychiatry.
Background
Mentoring is regarded as an important tool in many disciplines and also in medicine to advance the academic careers of young professionals. It has, however, been so far hardly used for supporting young (female) psychiatrists.
Method
Different models of mentoring will be presented, and a short review of different studies on mentoring in academic medicine and its success will be given. The Basel experience with a mentoring programme at the University Hospital will be reported as an example.
Results and Conclusions
Mentoring can positively influence professional medical careers and can be especially helpful for young women to promote their research career. Special mentoring programmes considering gender specific needs should also be implemented in psychiatry.
