Mentors: Who Are They? Where Are They? Do We Need Them?

Friedman, Paula K.

Journal of Dental Education, v56 n8 p566-70 Aug 1992

A discussion of mentoring among women in the dental profession draws on a survey of 220 female students and faculty in 5 dental schools and the author's personal experience. It is concluded that, although mentors are relatively commonplace and can be helpful, they cannot replace one's own drive and ability. (MSE)
