The process of mentoring is as much about learning as it is about educating and sharing knowledge.

Introduction:

Pharmacy training and education is continuously developing. Mentorship is defined by Institute of Medicine (IOM) as an advisor, career advisor, skills consultant, and role model. Ideally, mentors provide support, challenge, and vision to their mentees.
The process of mentoring is as much about learning as it is about educating and sharing knowledge.
Mentorship was one of the recommendations by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) and the Accreditation Council for Pharmaceutical Education (ACPE).
The main objective is to study the role and outcomes associated with the application of mentorship in pharmacy training and education.

Methods:

A systematic search of the PubMed electronic database was conducted from 2000–2017, with relevant keywords (Mentor OR mentorship) AND (Pharmacy education OR pharmacy practice OR pharmacy training).
Two independent reviewers for eligibility screened studies, and data were extracted.
This systematic review focuses on studying the outcomes associated with the application of mentorship programs in different educational settings.

Results:

Our search retrieved 180 unique citations. 8 cross-sectional studies with total of 662 pharmacy graduates were included. In terms of gender, there were 315 (47.58%) males. From included participants, there were 36 (5.4%) Masters, 58 (8.75%) PharmD, 22 (3.3%) Baccalaureate, 60 (10%) Assistant Professor, and 20 (3%) PhD.
Included studies reported that mentoring programs were effective, students showed significant progress in both academic and clinical field.

Conclusion:

This study demonstrated that mentoring programs are effective and promising, and can be used as an adjunct to enhance student confidence scientific, and professional efficiency.
Outcomes of mentorship can be either on an organizational level, on the mentees’ level, or on mentor’s level.
Thus, applying mentorship in pharmacy educational programs such as pharmacotherapy education will be expected to have significant results.
Moreover, we recommend further follow-up and research on the effectiveness of mentoring programs in all medical fields.
