title: [Tell me what you are like--a study of mentorship conferences in health and social work graduate studies].
abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate educational systems with regard to mentoring practice in two Schools of Health and a School of Social Work. Student-mentor interaction, notably mentor receptiveness, was studied through storytelling and discourse analysis from a practical/theoretical perspective. The study revealed that clinical mentors competencies are insufficient. As would be expected, clinical mentors, however, are superior to college teachers in practical mentoring situations. The study is based on observations of six different mentoring situations in three different groups/contexts.
