Abstract

In order to improve the learning outcomes, skills, sense of belonging and well-being of their students, faculties around the world have chosen to implement mentoring programs for their learners. Given the complexity of implementing this approach, our objectives in this review are, on the one hand, to discuss and support the principles and recommendations of a mentoring project in an academic setting and, on the other hand, to present the vision of the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis regarding this mentoring approach.
