Keywords:
Mentoring, Medical students, MBBS, Mentor, MenteeAbstract
A mentor is a more experienced person who guides a younger person/mentee, usually in the same field as that of the mentor. As the mentor has already walked the path, he/she is better able to guide the mentee academically, professionally and also personally to some extent. All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bibinagar, is a new institute that started in August 2019 with a batch of fifty undergraduate MBBS students followed by 2020 batch of sixty two students. Mentorship program was started for these 112 students but due to Covid pandemic there was lot of disturbance in regular teaching which frequently shifted to online mode and then again to offline mode as per the covid situation. Throughout the covid pandemic, the mentorship program continued. This paper attempts to determine the perception of students on mentorship program and also on the feasibility of mentoring even in adverse times.
