To identify models for senior mentor programs (SMPs), critical factors in program development, achievement of goals and objectives, effect on medical school environment, and future of programs.
Ten SMPs were systematically selected to represent a variety of medical schools, geographic regions, and program types. The National Senior Mentor Program Evaluation relied upon archived data within the programs and new data collected during site visits. Archived data included internally conducted program evaluations, student course evaluations, and survey and focus group results. Site visit data were collected from key informant interviews with program staff and faculty, medical school leadership and students, and older adults serving as mentors.
Ten U.S. medical schools with SMPs.
Evaluation participants at each site included program faculty, key medical school administrators, participating students, and mentors.
Program evaluation.
All 10 programs demonstrated a positive effect on student attitudes toward older adults. Student acceptance of the programs was strong, and mentor acceptance and support were extraordinary. Eight of the 10 programs were operating in 2008 and having considerable effect on medical school environments. Most of the operating programs expect to be continuing for 5 or more years into the future.
The findings of the national evaluation point toward continuation and likely growth of the senior mentor phenomenon in U.S. medical education.
确定高级导师计划（SMPs）的模式、计划制定中的关键因素、目标与目的的达成情况、对医学院环境的影响以及计划的未来发展。
系统选取了10个高级导师计划，以代表各类医学院校、地理区域和计划类型。全国高级导师计划评估依赖于计划内的存档数据以及现场访问期间收集的新数据。存档数据包括内部进行的计划评估、学生课程评估以及调查和焦点小组结果。现场访问数据通过与计划工作人员和教员、医学院领导和学生以及担任导师的老年人进行关键信息访谈收集。
设有高级导师计划的10所美国医学院校。
每个地点的评估参与者包括计划教员、医学院关键管理人员、参与计划的学生和导师。
计划评估。
所有10个计划均对学生对老年人的态度产生了积极影响。学生对这些计划的接受度很高，导师的接受度和支持力度也非常大。10个计划中有8个在2008年仍在运作，并对医学院环境产生了相当大的影响。大多数仍在运作的计划预计未来将持续5年或更长时间。
全国评估的结果表明，美国医学教育中的高级导师现象将持续存在并可能发展壮大。
