Figure 1.

How medical students meet their faculty mentors during undergraduate medical training. Students respondents chose from multiple-choice options to indicate how they met their mentors. The responses of students were stratified based on their class year in medical school. First and second-year medical students tended to meet their faculty mentors based on assignment as an advisor. Less than one-third of third- and fourth-year students indicated meeting their faculty mentor through clinical experiences. Abbreviations: M4 + refers to medical students in their fourth year and beyond (e.g., those pursuing additional degrees or research during their undergraduate medical training).
