To design and evaluate a research mentor training curriculum for clinical and translational researchers. The resulting 8-hour curriculum was implemented as part of a national mentor training trial.
The mentor training curriculum was implemented with 144 mentors at 16 academic institutions. Facilitators of the curriculum participated in a train-the-trainer workshop to ensure uniform delivery. The data used for this report were collected from participants during the training sessions through reflective writing, and following the last training session via confidential survey with a 94% response rate.
A total of 88% of respondents reported high levels of satisfaction with the training experience, and 90% noted they would recommend the training to a colleague. Participants also reported significant learning gains across six mentoring competencies as well as specific impacts of the training on their mentoring practice.
The data suggest the described research mentor training curriculum is an effective means of engaging research mentors to reflect upon and improve their research mentoring practices. The training resulted in high satisfaction, self-reported skill gains as well as behavioral changes of clinical and translational research mentors. Given success across 16 diverse sites, this training may serve as a national model.
设计并评估针对临床和转化研究人员的研究导师培训课程。由此产生的 8 小时课程作为国家导师培训试验的一部分实施。
该导师培训课程在 16 所学术机构的 144 名导师中实施。课程的推动者参加了培训师培训研讨会，以确保统一的交付。本报告使用的数据是通过培训期间参与者的反思性写作收集的，并在最后一次培训后通过 94%回应率的保密调查收集。
共有 88%的受访者报告对培训体验非常满意，90%的人表示他们会向同事推荐培训。参与者还报告了在六项指导能力方面的显著学习收益，以及培训对他们指导实践的具体影响。
数据表明，所描述的研究导师培训课程是一种有效的方法，可以让研究导师反思并改进他们的研究指导实践。培训在临床和转化研究导师中产生了高满意度、自我报告的技能提升以及行为改变。鉴于在 16 个不同地点的成功，该培训可以作为一个国家模式。
