Professional development through mentoring: Final evaluation of the pilot mentoring programme of the European society of radiotherapy and oncology

A large body of literature exists on the importance of mentoring in healthcare. It is increasingly recognized as a bidirectional process where both mentors and mentees benefit. Benefits for the mentees include increased self-efficacy, job satisfaction and productivity at work, while mentors can benefit through personal fulfilment, and the development of leadership and coaching skills [1]. These advantages are also pertinent for radiation oncology (RO). While mentorship appears to be exceptionally valuable also in RO, it remains understudied [2 –4].
