3. Supervisors' Compass Podcast Ep#15 – Supervisors as Mentors

How can supervisors become mentors, and what makes a mentoring relationship meaningful?

In this episode of the ACRRM RG podcast Supervisors’ Compass, Dr James Best and Professor Richard Hays are joined by Associate Professor David Rimmer to explore the role of mentorship in Rural Generalist training and beyond.

The discussion explores the difference between professional mentoring, which helps registrars navigate the systems and expectations of medicine, and developmental mentoring, which supports people to grow, develop their potential, and become the person they want to be through the practice of medicine.

For supervisors, this episode offers insights into the lasting influence they can have on registrars, and the idea that while mentorship cannot always be paid back, it can be paid forward to the next generation.
