The COVID-19 pandemic has led to major adjustments in health care systems and significantly affected medical education. Accordingly, our mentoring program had to expand its virtual elements, in order to continue to meet the needs for mentoring at the medical faculty of the . Here we report on our recently implemented online formats to facilitate training for currently coached peer mentors, as well as the introduction of an online consultation hour and a new social mentoring event called . First results demonstrated feasibility of the above-mentioned virtual formats, which were positively rated by the participants in small voluntary evaluation questionnaires. Utilization rates indicate existing need for mentoring during the pandemic. In addition, the new event promotes social interaction among peers during isolation due to COVID-19. With the transition to online formats, mentoring at the Medical Faculty could be continued during COVID-19. The newly introduced mentoring event will be repeated. However, it remains unclear to what extent online formats can replace in-person one-to-one mentoring conversations or peer mentoring meetings.
新冠疫情大流行导致医疗体系进行重大调整，并对医学教育产生了重大影响。因此，我们的导师计划不得不扩大其虚拟元素，以便继续满足医学院导师的需求。在这里，我们报告了最近实施的在线形式，以促进目前指导的朋辈导师的培训，以及引入在线咨询时间和一个名为的新的朋辈社交活动。初步结果表明了上述虚拟形式的可行性，参与者在小型自愿评估问卷中对其给予了积极评价。利用率表明在大流行期间存在对导师的需求。此外，新活动在 COVID-19 隔离期间促进了同伴之间的社交互动。随着向在线形式的转变，医学院的导师工作在 COVID-19 期间得以继续。新引入的导师活动将再次进行。然而，在线形式在多大程度上可以替代面对面的一对一导师对话或朋辈导师会议仍不清楚。
