Abstract: Peer mentoring is a well-recognised way to help first-year medical students navigate the challenges of entering medical school by promoting confidence, a sense of belonging and professional development [1].While its academic benefits are well described, less research has examined how these relationships are formed and maintained.The recent paper by Lim et al. [2] offers valuable insight into how early peer mentoring develops into enduring professional networks.By applying the Community of Practice framework, the authors demonstrate how mentoring relationships are built and sustained through shared purpose, collaborative working and mutual learning.
