I think there is a need at the undergrad and grad level at least.  My sense
is that the best model is sometimes called "functional mentoring" or "micro
mentoring".  Carla Fehr knows a lot about this.  But just googling, I found
this link:
On micro mentoring

business, but can be transposed)
The basic idea is that you may need several, sometimes short-term, mentors
for different issues.  E.g., the best person to mentor you about your work
may not be the best person to mentor you about planning a pregnancy or
dealing with a harasser.

I think we all need mentors.  When we have been in the profession awhile,
we often call them "friends."  For people just starting out, we need help
them navigate the rapids.
