The Adaptive Mentoring Networks: Developing a behavioural understanding of the capabilities, opportunities and motivations to engage in effective adaptive mentorship
FY 2025-26
Summary
The healthcare system in Canada is facing a crisis due to a shortage of healthcare professionals (HCP), especially in primary care, disparities in access to services and an aging workforce. The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified the crisis by increasing burnout and attrition. To address this crisis, various strategies have been proposed, such as increasing the number of HCPs and improving working conditions. The Adaptive Mentoring Networks (AMN) is an innovation being used in several provinces in Canada to enable continuous professional development, to improve the mental well-being of HCPs, and support collaboration. The aim of this study is to understand the barriers and supports that influence HCPs engagement in mentorship by conducting interviews with mentors and mentees. The findings will inform the development of a framework for expanding mentorship interventions like AMNs across different healthcare settings. This research is vital for improving the well-being of HCPs and addressing the HCP crisis in Canada, ultimately improving patient care delivery.

Abstract
The healthcare system in Canada is facing a crisis due to a shortage of healthcare professionals (HCP), especially in primary care, disparities in access to services and an aging workforce. The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified the crisis by increasing burnout and attrition. To address this crisis, various strategies have been proposed, such as increasing the number of HCPs and improving working conditions. The Adaptive Mentoring Networks (AMN) is an innovation being used in several provinces in Canada to enable continuous professional development, to improve the mental well-being of HCPs, and support collaboration. The aim of this study is to understand the barriers and supports that influence HCPs engagement in mentorship by conducting interviews with mentors and mentees. The findings will inform the development of a framework for expanding mentorship interventions like AMNs across different healthcare settings. This research is vital for improving the well-being of HCPs and addressing the HCP crisis in Canada, ultimately improving patient care delivery.
