Mentorship programs are essential for advancing women in surgery, addressing gender disparities, and promoting inclusivity in the field. This review explores the current landscape of such programs, outlines their benefits, and identifies areas for future development and research. Existing literature underscores mentorship's positive impact on women surgeons, enhancing their career development, job satisfaction, and overall well-being. Effective mentorship fosters skill development, strengthens leadership capabilities, and establishes supportive networks, ultimately contributing to increased diversity in surgical specialties and better patient care. Structured mentorship programs with clear objectives and well-defined expectations tend to be more successful. These programs should extend beyond clinical skills to encompass broader aspects like career guidance, work-life balance, and overcoming gender-specific challenges in surgery. Future research and development in women's surgery mentorship programs should focus on several key areas: outcome assessment; intersectionality; mentorship models; institutional support; mentor training; mentee empowerment; and mentor-mentee matching. This review underscores the vital role of mentorship programs in advancing women in surgery and offers insights for future research and program development. Implementing these recommendations will contribute to a more inclusive and equitable surgical community, benefiting both patients and the surgical profession as a whole.
