To explore the mentoring program on a subset of Pakistani medical students in a private medical college.
Total students targeted were 300 MBBS students of 1 Year (group B), 2 Year (group C) and 3 Year (group D), of these 256 students filled the self-reported questionnaire. The questionnaire was based on Likert Scale. The statements in the questionnaire are designed in a positive manner so that if the students agree to them the level of satisfaction with the mentoring program was considered significantly good. Open-ended questionnaires were also given so as to have a clearer concept of the students' perception. This study is a mixed method study catering to both quantitative and qualitative domains.
The overall results reported that the junior students of group B and group C showed higher satisfaction in being mentored as compared group D (p-value=0.001). All three groups were compared with each other to check the response of every statement by applying Tukey's test. Analysis of the result showed that majority of the students considered mentoring program a beneficial tool for their academic and non-academic lives. The students of all three years have reported that the mentor is mostly available and helps to reconcile internal conflicts. They also confirmed that their mentor keeps records but most of the students have reported that communication via email is limited.
Majority of students of Bahria University Medical and Dental College are able to carry on with their academic and non-academic routine due to the presence of mentoring. The medical students appreciated the presence of a mentor during thick and thin; they have also accepted that it is due to the presence of this guide that they are able to continue with their difficult studies in these difficult times.
探讨在一所私立医学院针对部分巴基斯坦医学生开展的指导计划。
目标学生为300名医学学士一年级（B组）、二年级（C组）和三年级（D组）的学生，其中256名学生填写了自我报告问卷。该问卷基于李克特量表。问卷中的陈述以积极的方式设计，因此如果学生同意这些陈述，则认为对指导计划的满意度非常高。还发放了开放式问卷，以便更清楚地了解学生的看法。本研究是一项兼顾定量和定性领域的混合方法研究。
总体结果显示，与D组相比，B组和C组的低年级学生对接受指导的满意度更高（p值=0.001）。通过应用Tukey检验对所有三组进行相互比较，以检查每条陈述的回答情况。结果分析表明，大多数学生认为指导计划对他们的学术和非学术生活都是有益的工具。所有三个年级的学生都表示，导师大多随时可用，并有助于化解内心冲突。他们还证实导师会做记录，但大多数学生表示通过电子邮件的沟通有限。
由于有指导，巴哈里亚大学医学院和牙科学院的大多数学生能够继续他们的学术和非学术日常。医学生赞赏在艰难时刻有导师陪伴；他们也承认，正是由于有了这位导师，他们才能在这些困难时期继续艰难的学业。
