Mentoring within surgery is increasingly recognised as a powerful development tool, but participant expectations have not previously been explored. This study aimed to explore and analyse participant expectations from the UK's first national otolaryngology mentorship programme.
Participants completed open-ended questionnaires. Responses were qualitatively analysed using a grounded theory approach. Iterative cycles were used to develop codes using a constant comparison technique. Emerging categories were refined to identify core themes.
Key mentee expectations were career, and clinical and academic guidance. Enhancing networking opportunities was highlighted by medical students and junior trainees. Psychosocial and lifestyle support were predominant themes for all trainees. Receiving impartial advice and guidance from outside their training region was expressed only by senior trainees. Mentor expectations aligned with those of mentees.
This study identified key areas of the 'hidden curriculum' for students and trainees in otolaryngology, showing the evolving expectations and priorities as they progress through training.
手术领域的指导越来越被认为是一种强大的发展工具，但之前尚未探讨参与者的期望。本研究旨在探讨和分析英国首个耳鼻喉科指导计划的参与者的期望。
参与者完成了开放式问卷。使用扎根理论方法对回答进行定性分析。使用恒定比较技术使用迭代循环来使用代码开发代码。新兴类别被精炼以确定核心主题。
主要学员的期望是职业、临床和学术指导。医学生和初级学员强调了增强网络机会。心理社会和生活方式支持是所有学员的主要主题。只有高级学员表示希望从培训地区以外获得公正的建议和指导。导师的期望与学员的期望一致。
本研究确定了耳鼻喉科学生和学员“隐性课程”的关键领域，展示了他们在培训过程中不断发展的期望和优先事项。
