Electronic near peer mentoring: evaluating its effects on satisfaction and learning among medical education graduate students.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, satisfaction, and learning outcomes associated with an electronic near-peer mentoring (ENPM) program for master's students in medical education. The program leveraged existing digital infrastructure to provide academic and psychosocial support through structured interactions between senior mentors and junior mentees.

Results

The program demonstrated high feasibility and was well-received. Satisfaction levels were notably high among both mentees (80%) and mentors (100%).
