Resident-resident mentoring offers significant benefits. Previous works have shown that the quality of the mentorship pairing is important, but techniques of pairing have seldom been described. We describe a system for mentor-mentee pairing that we call "Speed Dating for Mentors" (SDM).
The SDM activity took place in an academic general surgery residency program in the Northeast. Senior residents met with junior residents (JR) in 90-second intervals. On completion of interviews, residents documented their top three choices-this was used to create senior-junior resident pairings. A cross-sectional Likert survey was conducted with univariate analysis of satisfaction with the SDM event.
Forty-two surgical residents participated in SDM-23 junior residents and 19 senior residents-resulting in 23 mentor-mentee pairings. Fourteen pairs were generated, where both mentor and mentee were among top three choices, seven pairings generated where either/or was a top three choice, and two pairings were assigned; six pairs were assigned for nonattendees. A total of 36 surveys were completed-28 (78%) respondents participated in SDM compared to eight (22%) who did not. Eighty-five percent of respondents who attended were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with their pairing compared to only 12% of nonattendees (P = 0.001).
"Speed dating" is a novel approach to forming mentorship pairings and identifying mentors/mentees with similar interests. Residents who attended the event were satisfied with the event and with the outcome of their mentor/mentee pairing. Further investigations are warranted to determine what effects resident mentoring has on resident performance, stress levels, and well-being.
住院医师之间的指导有显著益处。以往的研究表明，指导配对的质量很重要，但配对技术很少被描述。我们描述了一种指导者与被指导者配对的系统，我们称之为“导师速配”（SDM）。
SDM活动在东北部的一个学术性普通外科住院医师项目中进行。高级住院医师与初级住院医师以90秒的间隔会面。面试结束后，住院医师记录下他们的前三选择——这用于创建高级-初级住院医师配对。进行了一项横断面李克特调查，并对SDM活动的满意度进行单变量分析。
42名外科住院医师参加了SDM——23名初级住院医师和19名高级住院医师——产生了23对指导者与被指导者配对。产生了14对，其中指导者和被指导者都在前三选择中，7对是其中一方在前三选择中，2对是指定的；6对是为未参加者指定的。共完成了36份调查问卷——28名（78%）受访者参加了SDM，8名（22%）未参加。参加者中85%对他们的配对“满意”或“非常满意”，而未参加者中只有12%（P = 0.001）。
“速配”是一种形成指导配对和识别兴趣相似的指导者/被指导者的新颖方法。参加该活动的住院医师对活动以及他们的指导者/被指导者配对结果感到满意。有必要进一步调查住院医师指导对住院医师表现、压力水平和幸福感有何影响。
