Mentorship facilitates successful matching for surgical specialties. A formal mentorship plan may counteract restricted mentorship opportunities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We surveyed medical students applying to surgery specialties who participated in our formalized mentorship program (M) and those of a prior cohort who were informally mentored (M). Epistemic Network Analysis was used to model qualitative responses.

Fourth-year medical students who matched into ACGME-accredited surgical specialties.
M students (n = 12) met with their mentors more frequently than M students (n = 13; p = 0.03). Both groups received career guidance, letters of recommendation and application preparation. However, the M cohort reported greater psychological and emotional support whereas the M cohort reported more assistance with skills development.
A formalized mentorship program fostered successful mentoring relationships despite limitations from the COVID-19 pandemic.
导师制有助于外科专业的成功匹配。由于 COVID-19 大流行,正式的导师计划可能会抵消有限的导师机会。
我们调查了申请外科专业的医学生,他们参加了我们的正式导师计划(M),以及之前参加非正式导师计划(M)的学生。采用知识网络分析来对定性反应进行建模。

与 ACGME 认证的外科专业相匹配的四年级医学生。
M 组(n=12)与导师见面的频率高于 M 组(n=13;p=0.03)。两个组都获得了职业指导、推荐信和申请准备。然而,M 组报告了更多的心理和情感支持,而 M 组报告了更多的技能发展方面的帮助。
尽管受到 COVID-19 大流行的限制,正式的导师计划还是促进了成功的导师关系。
