1) Health professionals face many challenges like meeting professional requirements, patient expectations, unsocial working hours, litigation, burnout, and isolation. 2) Mentoring has been used as a strategy to help with recruitment, retention, and lifelong learning, but there are barriers to traditional face-to-face mentoring like time, geography, and scarce mentors. 3) Using computer-mediated communication like social networking can help address some barriers by allowing more time for reflection, reducing isolation, and increasing access to mentors from different locations. However, successful ementoring also depends on attitudes toward learning, time, skills, privacy, and online communication.
