Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, medical curricula face major challenges. This also applies to mentoring programs, where face-to-face meetings are considered essential. The LMU Munich medical faculty mentoring program (MeCuM-Mentor) adapted to counteract the unforeseen pause of conventional course formats and associated uncertainty of many students. We here present an approach to transform the established large scale or group mentoring events of our program into online formats. Three projects are presented as examples: 1. HowTo Klink (HK), mainly informative in nature and with peer-mentoring character, 2. FacharztDuell (FAD) and 3. "Auf ein Gespräch mit... (AEGM)", both with a focus on career counseling. Initial evaluations show a similarly high participation rate and a high level of satisfaction among the participating students. Students' evaluation of whether the projects presented should take place in presence or in online format has so far shown no clear trend. Prospective studies are necessary to investigate the effectiveness of these online formats and analyse differences in participant behaviour. The extent to which online mentoring can replace classic mentoring functions has to be discussed anew.
由于 COVID-19 大流行，医学课程面临重大挑战。这也适用于指导计划，其中面对面会议被认为是必不可少的。慕尼黑大学医学部指导计划（MeCuM-Mentor）采取了措施，以应对传统课程模式的意外暂停和许多学生的不确定性。我们在这里介绍了一种将我们计划中已建立的大规模或小组指导活动转变为在线模式的方法。介绍了三个项目作为示例：1. HowTo Klink (HK)，主要具有信息性和朋辈指导的性质，2. FacharztDuell (FAD) 和 3. "Auf ein Gespräch mit... (AEGM)"，两者都侧重于职业咨询。初步评估表明，参与学生的参与率和满意度都很高。学生们对这些项目应该以现场形式还是在线形式进行的评估目前没有明显的趋势。有必要进行前瞻性研究来调查这些在线模式的有效性，并分析参与者行为的差异。还需要重新讨论在线指导在多大程度上可以替代经典的指导功能。
