An Internal Medicine (IM) specific, near-peer mentorship program was initiated at the University of Ottawa (uOttawa) in 2017. Medical students were paired with IM resident mentors to improve career decision-making through student-oriented discussion topics. Program evaluation was completed using data from three participant cohorts and showed that the program had a positive impact on students' career decision-making. Given the program's flexible nature and ease of implementation, it is well suited for adaptation at other institutions.
2017年,渥太华大学(uOttawa)启动了一项针对内科医学(IM)的近龄指导计划。医学生与内科医学住院医师导师配对,通过以学生为导向的讨论话题来改善职业决策。使用来自三个参与者队列的数据完成了项目评估,结果表明该项目对学生的职业决策产生了积极影响。鉴于该项目的灵活性和易于实施的特点,它非常适合在其他机构进行调整。
