About the research
There is limited research on the perspectives of social work doctoral students on their mentorship experiences and the capacity for faculty and institutions to provide positive mentoring experiences. Mentorship is crucial to the success of marginalized social work doctoral students. Marginalized doctoral students in social work, who may require additional support throughout the recruitment and retention processes, have limited opportunities for strong mentorship experiences. This paper was a three-member scoping review performed to identify critical features and benefits of mentorship for marginalized social work doctoral students in this study.
