A Sustainable and Effective Mentorship Model for Graduate Medical Education Programs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mentorship models rarely seek generalizability across training programs at the graduate medical education (GME) level.

Objective

We examined the sustainability and effectiveness of an intervention to increase the number and usefulness of trainee mentorship.

Methods

A 0.20 full-time equivalent GME faculty adviser position (MD, MEd) implemented mentorship programs in residencies and fellowships. In group 1, 6 GME programs implemented the mentorship strategies prior to 2014, which were used to measure whether the number of mentor relationships were longitudinally sustained. In group 2, 10 different GME programs implemented the mentorship strategies in 2016, which were used to measure whether the intervention immediately increased the number of mentor relations
