Since the Medical Education Act (AAppO) changed in 2004, medical schools in Germany have had to adjust their curricula to meet the requirements of a more clinically based approach to medical education. Curricula are required to include key competencies which support the study of medicine as well as the students’ future professional lives as medical doctors. Mentoring programmes are essential instruments in guiding students through the process of professional development during their education and career advancement. Mentoring programmes have a lasting influence on three main factors: personal development (Ramanan et al. 2002; Levy et al. 2004), career progression (Noe 1988; Pololi et al. 2002), and promotion of study and the development of scientific work (Morzinski et al. 1996; Pololi et al. 2002). Who carries out the mentoring role and how effective they are remains in debate.
