Mentorship delivered by LGBTQ+ physicians fostered a safe environment for self-expression, and provided mentees with experience-driven guidance in navigating the medical profession. We therefore recommend that all Canadian medical schools consider the longitudinal implementation of an LGBTQ+ mentorship program to support the personal and professional development of their LGBTQ+-identifying students.&nbsp;</span></p><p><br><br></p> ER -
