Mentorship is a two-way partnership which is equally beneficial for both the mentor and the mentee. In midwifery it aims to aid socialization into the profession, improves confidence, and extends understanding of supporting relationships.
The mentorship training has been developed for building mentors for the deployed community midwives.
