Group Mentoring for Junior Medical Students-the Mentor in the Reflection Cycle.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe the experience and perceptions of physicians involved in group mentoring of undergraduate pre-clinical medical students.

Method

We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey on perceptions of mentors regarding their motivation, personal development, reflective experience, and burnout. All the participants were mentors to undergraduate pre-clinical medical students in the course "Becoming a Physician." This unique course focuses on various aspects of medical professionalism and aims to increase awareness and sensitivity to patients, especially of disadvantaged populations, and to promote sensitive effective communication skills. Mentors in the course are expected to serve as role models to their students.
