AB  - The authors describe the history, characteristics, and goals of four innovative 
      programs, each in a medical school, that were established in 1998 to help faculty 
      members of both sexes obtain mentors and thereby facilitate their career 
      advancement. The programs were established as the result of an initiative by the 
      Office on Women's Health (OWH) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human 
      Services. Specifically, the OWH convened the National Task Force on Mentoring for 
      Health Professionals, which determined that two principles are paramount to the 
      success of any mentoring relationship or program: institutional commitment and 
      institutional rewards and recognition to mentors. In accordance with the task 
      force findings, the OWH created the National Centers of Leadership in Academic 
      Medicine, one at each of four medical schools: MCP Hahnemann School of Medicine; 
      the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine; East Carolina 
      University School of Medicine; and Meharry Medical College School of Medicine. 
      The authors give highlights of each program's goals and progress, and note that, 
      ideally, these programs will eventually serve as models for similar programs at 
      other schools. Programs such as these foster the advancement of a diverse 
      faculty, a more supportive academic environment, and the education of providers 
      who are sensitive to the needs of all their patients, staff, and colleagues.
