Senior mentors and role models have a positive influence on the career advancement of junior professionals in law, business, and medicine. In medicine an increasing number of women are pursuing academic careers, but available senior mentors to provide career guidance are often lacking. We report on the results of a national survey of 558 full-time faculty women, aged 50 years and younger, in departments of medicine in the United States, regarding their experience with role models and mentors. Women with mentors report more publications and more time spent on research activity than those without mentors. Women with a role model reported higher overall career satisfaction. This report, with illustrative examples, may be helpful to other women pursuing academic careers and to physicians who serve as mentors or role models to others.
资深导师和榜样人物对法律、商业和医学领域的初级专业人员的职业发展有着积极影响。在医学领域，越来越多的女性追求学术生涯，但往往缺乏能够提供职业指导的资深导师。我们报告了一项针对美国50岁及以下医学系558名全职女性教员的全国性调查结果，内容涉及她们与榜样人物和导师的经历。有导师的女性比没有导师的女性发表的论文更多，花在研究活动上的时间也更多。有榜样人物的女性总体职业满意度更高。本报告及示例可能对其他追求学术生涯的女性以及担任他人导师或榜样的医生有所帮助。
