Abstract

Continuous scientific and societal advancements necessitate professional development opportunities for educators to stay current. The diverse backgrounds and needs of medical educators makes one-size-fits-all faculty development programs ineffective. One strategy to overcome this hurdle is to provide personalized development opportunities, including mentoring, coaching, or advising. Here, we describe a peer-mentoring program designed to connect faculty across medical schools to promote personalized professional development. This program enables participants to share ideas, collaborate on teaching or scholarship, problem solve, network, and learn how other institutions function and overcome common hurdles. We propose that this inter-institutional peer-mentoring program could be implemented at other institutions using this model.

医学教育者专业发展的机构间同伴指导计划：计划组成、评估和演变。

科学和社会的不断进步需要教育工作者的专业发展机会。医学教育工作者的不同背景和需求使得一刀切的教师发展计划无效。克服这一障碍的一个策略是提供个性化的发展机会，包括指导、指导或建议。在这里，我们描述了一个同伴指导计划，旨在连接医学院的教师，以促进个性化的专业发展。该计划使参与者能够分享想法，在教学或奖学金方面进行合作，解决问题，建立网络，并了解其他机构如何运作和克服共同障碍。我们建议这种机构间的同伴指导计划可以在其他机构使用这种模式实施。
