The Importance of Mentorship: 

1. Most current RFDs, myself included, would not be where we are without quality mentors.

2. Mentors provide both direction and support, which is critical on the long journey to becoming a RFD. 

3. In medicine, our best teachers are our patients. I would argue that mentors come next. 

4. Mentors are not just clinical faculty, they can be from all walks of life (mine include my parents, a fisheries biologist, fly fishing guru and rancher in addition to clinical mentors). 

5. Ultimately, mentorship is founded on building relationships and the passing of knowledge from people with experience to those desiring it. 

​
