“…Mentorship also has a positive effect on those who engage as mentors and in fact, many students choose to become mentors so that they can make an impact [11]. Medical students in a peer mentoring program were four times as likely to report that mentorship was valuable than those who were not mentors, and over 80% would choose to mentor again [12,13]. The authors' experience with mentors drawn from various health science professional programs are consistent with these reported observations.…”

Most rural communities in Washington state are medically underserved. Without health care providers in the community to serve as role models, most rural youth do not envision themselves pursuing health care careers. Increasing the number of students from rural communities pursuing health care careers is arguably the best way to increase the number of providers returning to rural communities to practice. This chapter is a review of an ongoing longitudinal mentorship program designed to expose students in rural and underserved communities to health science careers and to help them develop the academic skills and personal traits needed for success. The program builds across all years of middle and high school and is designed to equip high school graduates for immediate employment or for post-secondary education in the health sciences. The program also has positive effects on the mentors and educates them on the challenges faced by rural and underserved communities. While the impact of the program is being qualitatively assessed, the outcomes on career choices will not be fully known until students graduate and ultimately enter the workforce. There is a high level of confidence that the program will increase the number of ‘home grown’ health care professionals to serve these communities.

Medical school transitions pose challenges for students. Mentoring programs may aid students, but evidence supporting peer/near-peer mentoring in medical school is unclear. Our review explores peer mentoring’s benefits, elements for success and challenges. Searches in major databases yielded 1676 records, resulting in 20 eligible studies involving 4591 participants. Longitudinal (n = 15) and shorter, focused programs were examined. Mentors and mentees reported psychosocial, professional and academic benefits. Essential elements included matching, orientation and clear goals, with training crucial yet balanced to avoid mentor overload. Social congruence underpinned successful peer mentoring, particularly benefiting under-represented groups. Challenges include balancing mentor load and logistics.
