We'd heard from a number of people in our community that mentorship remained an elusive, missing piece in their careers. Younger people said it was intimidating and difficult to find a mentor. Their older counterparts said they weren't sure if their advice truly mattered. But everyone said they believed in mentorship's transformative power. So we set out to fix it.

Chandrasekhar, MD, clinical professor of otolaryngology at Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell and clinical associate professor of otolaryngology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
