The academic environment is intellectually dynamic and is constantly evolving and transforming itself. The profound changes in academic medicine and health-care delivery are due to multiple factors and are making the traditional model of faculty development obsolete. These modifications are mainly related to a decrease in government support and to changes in the sophistication, costs and funding of biomedical research. They are also related to the evolution of reimbursement systems for hospitals and physicians, to a general loss of respect for the medical and scientifi cp rofessions and to radical changes in the structure of the health-care delivery system. However, these modifications are also linked to the evolution of motivations and values among different generations and their interaction with new technologies. The art of mentorship, which relies upon the mentor–mentee relationship, is clearly affected by these changes. In fact, intergenerational differences may have become so striking that they are causing misunderstanding and incomprehension. They may also interfere with learning objectives, patient care and administrative management of medical institutions, consequently raising barriers to mentoring [1]. The impact also may be felt in hiring, work habits and financial decisions [2]. Current residency applicants belong to Generation Y and are significantly different from previous trainees and the faculty who supervise them. They live in an era with incredible and exciting opportunities in medicine and research. The analysis of intergenerational differences in the workplace is crucial to improve communication, which should lead to a modification of the mechanisms for resident attraction, recruitment and management, as well as of educational paradigms. Academic leadership should evolve and adapt to the changing world in order to pursue highquality objectives and keep high educational standards. This should, in turn, contribute to the production of new generations of high-level educators and mentors.
