Abstract
The absence of financial incentives is a major obstacle to developing faculty mentors. Structured approaches are needed to develop faculty mentors. Recruiting individuals with vested interests, providing protected time, and monetary and career incentives will help develop faculty mentors. Structured written evaluation and objective verbal feedback are mandatory for optimal development of faculty mentors. There are resolvable and irresolvable causes of faculty discontent. Current needs to develop faculty mentors provide opportunities for research.
