The stressful nature of medical student training is being increasingly recognized. This study describes a questionnaire survey of the long running personal tutor system (intended to help with social as well as educational needs of clinical students), at a London medical school. Just over one half of students and one third of tutors were highly satisfied with the system. Satisfaction in students was linked with regularity, but not frequency, of meetings, being 'chased' by tutors, and engaging in social as well as educational activities. A small but worrying percentage of students reported that they would not be able to share personal or academic difficulties with tutors, highlighting the need for other avenues of support/counselling to be made available to students.
医学生培训的压力性质日益受到认可。本研究描述了对伦敦一所医学院长期运行的个人导师制度(旨在满足临床学生的社交和教育需求)的问卷调查。略超过一半的学生和三分之一的导师对该制度高度满意。学生的满意度与会面的规律性而非频率、被导师“催促”以及参与社交和教育活动有关。一小部分但令人担忧的学生报告称,他们无法与导师分享个人或学业困难,这凸显了需要为学生提供其他支持/咨询途径。
