Rombeau et al., surgeons at Temple U. Hospital, note the importance of a mentor in the education and growth of a surgeon as they explain daily mentoring practices and evidence-based support; why, when, and how surgical mentoring should be implemented; mentoring qualities and uses with specific groups like women and international medical graduates; and how to develop and choose a one.” (SciTech Book News, December, 2010) “Mentoring is an often-discussed topic for which there are relatively few references. Surgical Mentoring attempts to bridge that gap. … provide needed background and serve as a practical guide for faculty at entry and more senior levels of experience. Although the book is written for general surgeons, it is applicable to all surgical fields. … will be useful to surgical faculty in all specialties as well as medical educators confronting current problems of obtaining adequate surgical training and producing competent surgeons in this changing environment.” (Paul J. Dougherty, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 305 (4), January, 2011) “This new perspective of the development of surgeons utilizes the perspectives and experiences of experienced surgeons with the development of skills for physiciansin training. … From medical school through internship, residency, fellowship and clinical practice, each new generation interacts with the past generation to produce physicians of merit to carry on a worthy tradition. … The presentation is state-of- the-art, comprehensive, understandable, and evidence- based.” (William H.
