Hi all,

For your mentors at your medical school/home program, are you doing anything special? Hand-written thank-you note for their mentorship? A small gift? (if so, what is considered appropriate?) I'm extremely thankful for my mentors and would not have matched at my program without their help and guidance.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for your reply. What are you thinking of getting (if its not too personal/you don't mind sharing)?

Just play it by ear, OP. If your mentor plays golf, get him/her something related to that. Or a card and a gift certificate to Wendy's AND McDonalds.
In all seriousness, just keep it simple. Chances are that you thanking them in person, will mean much much more than any gift.
