Depending on how strict you are with your defining criteria of a mentor, you might never find one. But if you'd like to hear my unpopular opinion, you don't need one. There will always be people to learn from, attendings and fellow residents alike. One thing I'd like to add: don't forget that negative examples are also instructive. I have come to the conclusion over the years that I'll try to educate myself as best as I can, learning from everyone willing to teach, regardless how little and inconsistent, and then, as an attending, try to fill the gaps, do better for my residents, maybe even become the mentor I never had for others, who knows. I find this to be good motivation. And, at the end of the day, honestly that's all you need, motivation. Because learning resources are available virtually everywhere nowadays. Focus on reading, learning, taking responsibility with your cases as if it were your name only on the signed out report, learn from the people around you, good and bad, however they are, don't be afraid to ask your attendings "stupid" questions at sign out (always remember: it is your right to learn!) and you should be fine 😉 The internet and social medial (especially #PathTwitter) allow for more networking opportunities nowadays so take advantage of that as much as you can. You may find "mentorship", or as I would put it pearls of wisdom, in places you've never imagined.
