Abstract
Objective: To investigate the pedagogical shades of clinical mentors understanding about reflection in the Undergraduate Curriculum.
Methodology: The study was conducted at Shifa College of Medicine. A qualitative technique was used to recruit 11 clinical mentors. Data were collected through in-depth interviews. Data from each interviewee was audio-tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcribed interviews were analyzed using NVIVO 11 Plus. Thematic analysis was employed to identify recurring patterns and themes.
Results: Three themes emerged from the study: understanding approaches to reflection, improving undergraduate training through reflection, and challenges of reflection with strategies to overcome.
Conclusion: The research showed ambiguity in the understanding of reflection on the part of mentors and has suggested comprehensive faculty development programs before making it part of the undergraduate medical curriculum.

Key words: Reflection, under-graduate medical education, mentors.
