What kind of question is this? Also, please use correct grammar.
Mentors tend to fall into 3 categories and there is significant overlap:
1) Research mentors - typically someone you work with on a research project. They will help you identify (or give you) a project and will meet with you periodically to make sure the project is being completed. They typically will be a letter-writer for a resident who wants to go onto fellowship.
2) Clinical mentors - typically someone within the IM department where you worked with on service. They model the kind of doctor you wish to be and may have a role residency education. IM program directors fall into this category. They help you become a better clinician and can sometimes serve as a letter writer.
3) Life mentors - typically someone further along in their career than you who can give you advice on longterm goals, such as breakdown between clinical work and research, how to navigate personal life in academic medicine (think long-distance significant others in or not in medicine, how to succeed as woman in medicine, etc). This is typically neglected in most programs but is invaluable to most trainees.
True mentorship develop organically. A good mentor will devote time and effort to help further your career and will take joy in seeing you succeed. From what you said, it sounds like you were assigned a 'mentor' by your program. Generally, this is done to offload the work on the program director and this person is there to check-in with you to make sure you're going through residency just fine. While he/she could develop to be a true mentor, his/her role at the moment is to make sure you're not lagging in your clinical training. At the next meeting, you could ask him/her to point you to some faculty you could do research with (if you're interested in that). That'd be a good starting point.
