The study intends to comprehend the underrepresentation of women on positions of power and academic excellence in academia. The study explained the role of exploitation and harassment, which might hinder, when women were trying to climb to top hierarchical position. The majority of women supervised by male heads, sexual harassment could be used as a glass ceiling to hamper women to reach top hierarchal level. The majority participants were working on lower academic and administrative hierarchy; they were experiencing harassment throughout the hierarchical level. Similarly, they considered that harassment could contribute to the underrepresentation of women at academic excellence and a position of power.

“…Mentorship in general has been explored, as well as gender specific differences or issues that arise. The literature is comprised largely of surveys (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8), commentaries (9-12), reviews (13)(14)(15)(16), and interviews (17). Very few studies show causality, or active intervention and outcomes of mentorship programs (8,18,19).…”

“…Search criteria included mentorship in surgery, mentorship in medicine, academic medicine or surgery, women in surgery, and women in medicine. While many themes emerged, much of the surgical mentorship literature has focused on negative "barriers" to mentorship, rather than positive facilitating factors (6,7,17,20). The Merriam-Webster dictionary (21) defines "barrier" as "1) something (such as a fence or natural obstacle) that prevents or blocks movement from one place to another, 2) a law, rule, problem, etc.…”

Context: Mentorship in academic medicine, surgery, and surgical subspecialties has been examined broadly in the literature at the student, resident, early, and senior faculty level. These studies have explored mentorship in general, as well as gender specific differences or issues that arise. Less studied is the idea of collaboration in surgical training. Evidence Acquisition: The objective of this review is to summarize the current literature on mentorship and delineate its future. Results: Traditional paradigms of the mentor plotting the career of the mentee may not be possible in the future. In the ever-changing practice of surgery, time constraints are only increasing, making the act of mentoring more difficult. Conclusions:The mentee or trainee must take a more active role and seek out mentorship, seek out collaboration, be more proactive, and communicate their needs and career goals early on.
