Abstract
Physicians who are joining a medical staff are at an ideal point in their career to re-evaluate their goals and practices. Mentoring is an excellent tool to help them achieve balance and well-being throughout their professional lives.
“For without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods; even rich men and those in possession of office and of dominating power are thought to need friends most of all; for what is the use of such prosperity without the opportunity of beneficence…. ”—Aristotle (384–322 BC), Nichomachean Ethics, VIII, 1155a.
