Abstract

Objectives: Mentorship supports faculty to succeed in their careers with confidence, resilience, and satisfaction. To address inequities evident with an informal approach, a formal mentorship program was designed and implemented.

Methods: The Quality Implementation Framework (QIF) was applied. Engagement with key stakeholders and users was emphasized. The goals of the program are to address inequities and create greater satisfaction with academic careers among diverse faculty working in various roles/sites. A central component is a primary 1:1 mentor/mentee model, supported with an online matching tool. 1:1 mentorship is augmented with several group mentorships, to support specific academic roles (e.g., clinician scientists; clinician teachers) or social identity. Mentorship training workshops and resources support mentors/mentees; topics include best practices, DEI, and mentorship and mentorship tools. Descriptive statistics (means, SDs, percentages) summarized findings on mentees/mentors at enrollment.

Results: Sixty-six mentors registered. Recently hired faculty (n = 136) were invited to participate, resulting in 105 mentees (77%). There is a significant improvement in mentor perception of the department's culture of mentorship (t(198) = 4.188, p < 0.001). Key mentee goals were to gain career guidance and support, information on academic promotion, skills in professional relationships, and networking. Identified challenges among mentors/mentees include having differing goals, time commitment, and managing difficult conversations. Mentorship groups were well-received with high satisfaction.

Conclusions: Uptake and participation is encouraging. QIF will help identify contextual factors related to uptake and use of the program and additional implementation strategies needed. The project will contribute to literature on implementation and sustainability of mentorship programs.

发展和实施一个结构化的和创新的教师范围内的指导计划为一个大的精神病学部门。
目标:师徒关系支持教师在他们的职业生涯中取得成功,充满信心,适应力和满足感。为了解决以非正式方式出现的明显不平等现象,我们设计并实施了正式的指导计划。方法:采用质量实施框架(QIF)。强调了与主要利益攸关方和用户的接触。该计划的目标是解决不平等问题,并在不同角色/地点工作的不同教师之间创造更大的学术生涯满意度。一个核心组件是主要的1:1导师/学员模型,由在线匹配工具支持。1:1的指导增加了几个小组指导,以支持特定的学术角色(例如,临床医生科学家;临床医师教师)或社会认同。师徒关系培训工作坊和资源支持导师/学员;主题包括最佳实践,DEI,指导和指导工具。描述性统计(均值、标准差、百分比)总结了学员/导师入学时的调查结果。结果:注册导师66名。新聘用的教师(136人)也被邀请参加,共105人(77%)。导师对科室师徒文化的认知有显著提高(t(198) = 4.188, p)结论:接受和参与是令人鼓舞的。QIF将有助于确定与项目的吸收和使用以及所需的其他实施策略相关的上下文因素。该项目将为指导计划的实施和可持续性方面的文献做出贡献。
