“…106,107,115 Furthermore, mentorship of female and under-represented minority medical students has been shown to lead to similar increases in student interest in surgical careers. 19,22,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]137 Program diversity is an important consideration for medical students, and we posit that mentorship may allow for honest discussion of diversity in surgery and can also create a more welcoming environment for medical students who see themselves as "outsiders" in surgical settings. 22,137 Mentorship in surgery may also be beneficial because it allows students to become familiar with the personalities of potential future colleagues.…”

A systematic review of the factors affecting choice of surgery as a careerBackground: Interest in surgical careers among medical students has declined over the past decade. Multiple explanations have been offered for why top students are deterred or rejected from surgical programs, though no consensus has emerged. Methods:We conducted a review of the literature to better characterize what factors affect the pursuit of a surgical career. We searched PubMed and EMBASE and performed additional reference checks. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and Newcastle-Ottawa Education scores were used to evaluate the included data.Results: Our search identified 122 full-text, primary articles. Analysis of this evidence identified 3 core concepts that impact surgical career decision-making: gender, features of surgical education, and student "fit" in the culture of surgery. Conclusion:Real and perceived gender discrimination has deterred female medical students from entering surgical careers. In addition, limited exposure to surgery during medical school and differences between student and surgeon personality traits and values may deter students from entering surgical careers. We suggest that deliberate and visible effort to include women and early-career medical students in surgical settings may enhance their interest in carreers in surgery.Contexte : On constate que l'intérêt pour une carrière en chirurgie a décliné chez les étudiants en médecine depuis une dizaine d'années. Plusieurs raisons ont été invoquées pour expliquer le désintérêt des étudiants talentueux à l'égard des programmes de chirurgie ou leur rejet de ces programmes, sans qu'on en arrive à un consensus.

Mentorship of US Medical Students: a Systematic Review

BACKGROUND: Mentoring of medical students remains a core pillar of medical education, yet the changing landscape of medicine has called for new and innovative mentoring models to guide students in professional development, career placement, and overall student well-being. The objective of this review is to identify and describe models of mentorship for US medical students. METHODS: We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, Education Resources Information Center, and Cochrane Databases of Systematic Reviews following PRISMA guidelines. We included original, English-language studies of any research design including descriptive studies that described a mentorship program at a US medical school designed for medical students. RESULTS: Our search yielded 3743 unique citations. Thirty articles met our inclusion criteria. There was significant diversity of the identified programs with regard to program objectives and size. The traditional dyad model of mentorship was the most frequently cited model, with a combination of models (dyad and group mentorship) cited as the second most common. Outcome measures of the programs were largely survey based, with satisfaction being the most measured outcome. Overall, satisfaction was highly rated throughout all the measured mentoring programs. Seven programs provided objective outcomes measures, including improved residency match data and increased scholarly productivity. The programs with objective outcomes measures were smaller, and 6/7 of them focused on a specific clinical area. Five of these programs relied on the traditional dyad model of mentorship. Cost and faculty time were the most frequently cited barriers to these programs. DISCUSSION: Our review demonstrates that mentoring programs for medical students can positively improve medical school satisfaction and career development. These results underscore the need for continued innovative mentoring programs to foster optimal student development in the setting of the increasingly competitive residency match process, growing expectations about student research productivity, and the national focus for overall student wellness.

“…Similarly, the number of minority applicants to orthopedic surgery residency programs was shown to be dramatically increased from medical schools that provide exposure to the field as part of the required medical school curriculum (Bernstein et al, 2004). Additionally, mentorship of underrepresented minority medical students by department faculty in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery increased interest and applicants in 11 different medical schools (Nellis et al, 2016). These proactive, hands-on approaches have been in practice at the societal level (American Academy of Dermatology, 2016) but should be implemented within our field at the institutional level, with the goal of diversifying and cultivating our future applicants.…”

Diversity in Dermatology Residency Programs

Given the change in our population to one that is more racially and ethnically diverse, the topic of diversity in dermatology residency programs has gained attention. In a field that has become highly competitive, diversity is lagging behind. What are the reasons for this? The existing diversity among medical school matriculants is reflective of the applicant pool, and although modest, there has been an increase in applications and acceptances from minority populations. However, these proportions do not carry through to the population applying to dermatology residency. Making sense of this and planning how to recruit a more diverse applicant pool will improve the quality and cultural competency of future dermatologists.
