Abstract :
Supporting medical students involves two broad concepts that are often confused, namely tutoring and mentoring. These approaches, implemented in a heterogeneous way in medical schools, have been the topic of numerous publications. The objective of this update was therefore to define, then clarify, based on a literature review, the common characteristics and the differences between tutoring and mentoring in medical studies.
