Abstract
Achieving a successful career in medicine is a long and tedious journey. It means passing through several milestones, from under-graduation to post-graduation, and specialisation as a practitioner, consultant, researcher or administrator. Any journey becomes smooth and enjoyable if one is lucky to find a suitable guide and a companion. Similarly, mentoring in medical career comes as a lifetime experience. It contributes to both professional achievement and personal development. Unfortunately, the value of mentoring is not explored in most of the medical colleges either because of lack of awareness or lack of motivation on the part of the mentor, mentee or both.
