Abstract

Mentorship is now recognized as essential to the personal and professional development of physicians. Over the past decade, it has become a common theme in medical education literature, and through this our understanding of mentorship has evolved. Despite this progress, we believe that the prevailing reductionist view of mentorship is oversimplified and may hinder further advances in this space. Instead, we propose that mentorship be viewed through the lens of complexity theory, positioning it as a prototypical complex adaptive system. This shift in perspective will inform our mentorship interventions and evaluations, and can avoid the disappointment that invariably follows when we apply a simple approach to a complex situation.

医学导师制是一个复杂的机会。

现在，导师制已被公认为对医生的个人和职业发展至关重要。在过去的十年中，导师制已成为医学教育文献中的一个常见主题，我们对导师制的理解也随之不断发展。尽管取得了这一进展，但我们认为，目前流行的导师制简化观点过于简单，可能会阻碍这一领域的进一步发展。相反，我们建议从复杂性理论的角度来看待导师制，将其定位为一个典型的复杂适应系统。这种视角的转变将为我们的导师制干预和评估提供参考，并能避免我们在复杂的情况下采用简单的方法时必然产生的失望。

期刊介绍： Medical Teacher provides accounts of new teaching methods, guidance on structuring courses and assessing achievement, and serves as a forum for communication between medical teachers and those involved in general education. In particular, the journal recognizes the problems teachers have in keeping up-to-date with the developments in educational methods that lead to more effective teaching and learning at a time when the content of the curriculum—from medical procedures to policy changes in health care provision—is also changing. The journal features reports of innovation and research in medical education, case studies, survey articles, practical guidelines, reviews of current literature and book reviews. All articles are peer reviewed.
