Mentorship

It is a topic not related to women health directly but indirectly definitely and it has a huge positive effect in growth of doctors as professionals and clinicians which ultimately leads to better patient care.To be a mentor a senior consultant needs to be magnanimous,has to find enjoyment and satisfaction in one's disciples good work.Unfortunately in gynaecology ,particularly in Indian corporate system there are very few actual mentors.Competition and jealousy is basic human nature but my personal opinion is when we are in a noble profession like we are in the interest of oneself,juniors and patients overcoming these petty human emotion is a must.My consultant,Mr P tivy Jones said at Ysbyty Gwynedd said while teaching me operative laparoscopy ' learn one,do one and teach one' and I do believe that is the way one can grow and be a true professional.
