Abstract
This article summarizes the development and implementation of a mentoring program designed to support and educate physicians new to practice in a large, outpatient hospital system. The program addresses organizational, operational, and financial elements of medical practice. Topics include efficiency and time management, coding education, leadership, and burnout. These topics are often not directly addressed in medical education, yet are crucial to physician well-being. The article describes the program structure, initial feedback, and recommendations for program replication and expansion.
