Will Humphreys describes how pediatric mentorship works in practice. A mentor and mentee start with a calendar meeting to identify problem areas like feeding or difficult parent conversations, then the mentor observes patient sessions and gives real-time feedback. The focus is building interpersonal skills, not just clinical knowledge.

What does mentorship look like and why is it important? Those kind of—
so when we hire a new grad or even anybody into pediatrics, I offer up mentorship and we usually set it up on the calendar. I'll find out what do you feel really good about? What are you not worried about treating? What are you worried about? You know, is it feeding? Is it CP? What is it? And so then we make a plan. They are scheduled to come in, we chat. They talk honestly. Well, it's like they talk through, gosh, this was really hard with this parent. I didn't know what to say here. And that's where I'm finding the mentorship is. It's not so much the clinical skills, although some of it is those interpersonal skills. So, and then I go into their sessions and I just am another set of eyes and, you know, support. Yeah. Got a ton of experience behind me and it's like, well, what about, you know, this isn't this, just thinking about things differently. So that's kind of what it looks like in the clinic. And then, you know, coaching other practices and stuff, I just treat their employees, they're like my employee, how I would talk to my employee.
