We created a Big Sibling mentorship program for medical students and studied the program effects.
Between July 2019 to December 2020, students completing their surgery clerkship were paired with a Big Sibling surgical research resident. Participation in and perceptions of the program were assessed by survey.
81 medical students and 25 residents participated with a 79% and 95% survey response rate, respectively. The most valuable topics discussed included ward skills, personal development and career advising. Students who interacted >2 times with their Big Sibling were more likely to perceive the operating room as a positive learning environment, view attendings as role models, and receive mentoring and feedback from residents and attendings (p = 0.03, 0.02, 0.01 respectively). 78% of residents thought the program was a positive experience and no residents found it burdensome.
The Big Siblings program enhances the surgery clerkship learning environment. Students who engaged with their Big Sibling had a more positive view of the clerkship and the mentorship provided by residents and attendings.
我们为医学生创建了一个大哥哥/大姐姐指导计划,并研究了该计划的效果。
在 2019 年 7 月至 2020 年 12 月期间,完成外科实习的学生与一位大哥哥/大姐姐外科研究住院医师结对。通过调查评估学生对该计划的参与情况和看法。
共有 81 名医学生和 25 名住院医师参与,他们的调查回复率分别为 79%和 95%。讨论最多的有价值的话题包括病房技能、个人发展和职业建议。与大哥哥/大姐姐互动超过 2 次的学生更有可能认为手术室是一个积极的学习环境,将主治医生视为榜样,并从住院医师和主治医生那里获得指导和反馈(p=0.03、0.02、0.01)。78%的住院医师认为该计划是一次积极的体验,没有住院医师认为这是一种负担。
大哥哥/大姐姐计划增强了外科学实习的学习环境。与大哥哥/大姐姐互动的学生对实习和住院医师及主治医生提供的指导有更积极的看法。
