Mentoring In Cardiology: A Pedagogical Tool In A Rapidly Changing World

Abstract

This is an article aimed at showing the mentoring role in a fast-changing society, particularly during and after the pandemic by COVID-19. The intense flow of information, feelings and new knowledge changes every day, making it necessary for medical education to be updated to keep up with social and professional dynamics, according to health requirements and new demands on subjects still not widely known. The mentoring program is a development process in which the mentor promotes the professional and personal evolution of mentoring, from the exchange of visions and experiences that allow to expand the repertoire of solutions, especially in the instability that a pandemic imposes. The mentor and mentee are challenged to exchange the traditional environment for the virtual, in order to respect the distance required and the development on digital medicine and distance learning.
