Organizations need to prioritize having diversity. If it's not a priority, it won't happen. Healthcare faces unique challenges that can only be addressed if there's a diverse workforce. How to Mentor. Mentors identify potential talent and help them find opportunities. However, mentorship doesn’t stop there. Mentors also need to observe the mentee and have follow up conversations. The process should be iterative. Finding Balance. Finding balance between being a parent and being doctor is challenging.
