Speed mentoring provides brief mentoring and networking opportunities. We evaluated 1) a national speed mentoring program's ability to encourage in-person networking and advice-sharing, and 2) 2 potential outcomes: helping mentees achieve 3-month goals, and fostering mentoring relationships after the program.
An outcome approach logic model guided our program evaluation. Sixty mentees and 60 mentors participated. Each mentee met with 6 mentors for 10 minutes per pairing. At the program, mentees created goals. At 3 months, mentors sent mentees a reminder e-mail. At 4 months, participants received a Web-based survey.
Forty-two (70%) mentees and 46 (77%) mentors completed the survey. Participants reported the program allowed them to share/receive advice, to network, to provide/gain different perspectives, and to learn from each other. Mentors as well as mentees identified shared interests, mentor-mentee chemistry, mentee initiative, and mentor approachability as key qualities contributing to ongoing relationships. Many mentor-mentee dyads had additional contact (approximately 60%) after the program and approximately one-third thought they were likely to continue the relationship. Goal-setting encouraged subsequent mentor-mentee contact and motivated mentees to work toward attaining their 3-month goals. The mentors aided mentees goal attainment by providing advice, offering support, and holding mentees accountable.
A national speed mentoring program was an effective and efficient way to establish national connections, obtain different perspectives, and receive advice. Goal-setting helped mentees in achieving 3-month goals and fostering mentoring relationships outside of the program. These elements continue to be a part of this program and might be valuable for similar programs.
快速指导提供了简短的指导和交流机会。我们评估了 1）全国快速指导计划鼓励面对面交流和建议分享的能力，以及 2）2 个潜在结果：帮助被指导者实现 3 个月的目标，并在计划后培养指导关系。
结果方法逻辑模型指导了我们的计划评估。60 名被指导者和 60 名指导者参与了该计划。每位被指导者与 6 位导师进行了 10 分钟的配对。在项目中，被指导者制定了目标。在 3 个月时，导师向被指导者发送了提醒电子邮件。在 4 个月时，参与者收到了一份基于网络的调查。
42 名（70%）被指导者和 46 名（77%）指导者完成了调查。参与者报告该计划使他们能够分享/接收建议、交流、提供/获得不同的观点，并相互学习。导师和被指导者都认为共同的兴趣、导师-被指导者的默契、被指导者的主动性和导师的可接近性是促成持续关系的关键品质。许多导师-被指导者二人组在项目后有了额外的联系（约 60%），约三分之一的人认为他们可能会继续保持这种关系。目标设定鼓励了随后的导师-被指导者的接触，并激励被指导者努力实现他们的 3 个月目标。导师通过提供建议、提供支持和使被指导者负责来帮助被指导者实现目标。
全国性的快速指导计划是建立全国联系、获得不同观点和接受建议的有效且高效的方法。目标设定有助于被指导者实现 3 个月的目标，并在计划之外培养指导关系。这些元素仍然是该计划的一部分，对于类似的计划可能具有价值。
