Abstract
There is no difference in academic productivity or case comfort level between surgical trainees with mentors and those without. Possible benefits identified by PDs and trainees include professional networking and increased research and job opportunities. Mentors should be approachable, accessible, supportive, and ethical, while mentees should be enthusiastic, ethical, committed, and approachable. Vascular fellows feel more comfortable with open vascular operations than residents, and nether group feels comfortable with complex endovascular cases. More research is warranted.
