Article Synopsis
- The Educational Scholars Program (ESP) began as a three-year faculty development initiative for pediatric educators and has evolved into a larger community of practice over 14 years.
- A survey of 126 ESP graduates categorized them into four engagement groups (Core, Active, Peripheral, and Outsider) and identified factors influencing their involvement in the ESP community.
- Results showed that half of the graduates participated, with those in the Core and Active groups feeling a strong sense of belonging, largely due to networking, collaboration, and mentorship opportunities that encourage their continued engagement.

In recent years, research on clinician-educator (CE) identity formation has expanded, yet gaps exist in understanding initial influences on an educator identity, sustainment throughout a career, and development of successful pathways for early CEs. This study explored the initial influences on and characteristics of the professional identity formation of CEs in an age-diverse, multispecialty population in the United States.

Mentees report positive impacts from mentorship programs, yet institutions and societies may struggle to meet their mentees' needs due to factors such as mentor fatigue and lack of mentor training.

Methods: We performed a review of the medical education literature for the year 2010. Utilizing a similar strategy employed by others in Internal Medicine, we selected 12 high-yield education journals and manually reviewed the table of contents to select titles that would have grassroots applicability for medical educators.
