Implementing a global mentoring program: A call to action for mentorship in surgery.
Background: The Gender Equity Initiative in Global Surgery organization launched a mentorship program to address the limited opportunities available in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). We aimed to evaluate the utility of the virtual program in bridging this critical gap.
Methods: A retrospective review of program surveys containing quantitative and qualitative questions from 2022 to 2023 was performed.
Results: Of n = 193 applicants, 81.3 % (157/193) identified as women, and 69.4 % (134/193) reported no prior mentorship. Applicants were from 41 countries (35 LMICs). The most requested specialties were general surgery (27.9 %, 54/193), neurosurgery (18.1 %, 35/193), and cardiothoracic surgery (11.4 %, 22/193). 55.9 % (108/193) preferred mentors from other countries (United States, United Kingdom, Canada), while 13.9 % (27/193) preferred mentors from their country. Ultimately, 48 applicants were matched with 13 mentors.
Conclusions: Demand for the program surpassed capacity, highlighting a need for mentorship opportunities for women overall, particularly in LMICs.
