As the medical school admissions process becomes increasingly competitive, there is an increased mental and emotional burden on undergraduate premedical students due to uncertainty about acceptance. Mentors in Medicine is a mentoring program between Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and Texas Tech University students; the data demonstrate that this program can alleviate some negative emotional aspects faced by premedical students on their journey to medical school. The program interventions include establishing mentor-mentee relationships between medical students and premedical students, hosting various events to encourage dialogue, and promoting communication efforts from medical mentors. These interventions were found to significantly decrease feelings of anxiety or nervousness, as well as feelings of doubt or insecurity. These results may provide a framework for similar medical-premedical mentoring programs at other institutions.
随着医学院录取过程的竞争日益激烈，本科医学预科学生因录取不确定性而承受的心理和情感负担不断增加。“医学导师”是德克萨斯理工大学健康科学中心与德克萨斯理工大学学生之间的一个指导项目；数据表明，该项目可以缓解医学预科学生在通往医学院的道路上面临的一些负面情绪问题。该项目的干预措施包括在医学生和医学预科学生之间建立师徒关系、举办各种活动以鼓励对话，以及推动医学导师的沟通工作。研究发现，这些干预措施能显著减少焦虑或紧张情绪，以及怀疑或不安全感。这些结果可能为其他机构类似的医学-医学预科指导项目提供一个框架。
