An Introduction to Mentorship

Mentorship is recognized across disciplines in both academic and practice settings as an important contributor to building capacity within organizations and among individuals. There are many definitions and types of mentorship. Mentorship can be spontaneous or formal, direct or indirect, and short or long-term. These modules provide a foundation for exploring these different forms of mentorship in ways that can contribute to creating a culture of mentorship.

Key Messages:

1. There are many different types and approaches to mentoring.

2. Mentorship can play an important role in strengthening capacity for global health research.
