“…9,10 This study did not find any observed preference for race concordance in the dyads. Although previous studies concluded that race and ethnicity concordance is important to URMs, 3 the low number of URM mentees 3 of 29 (10%) in this study does not allow us to draw any conclusions. Mentees were made aware that it was their responsibility to reach out to their mentors as they deemed necessary, setting up virtual or in person meetings, and following up as needed.…”

Mentorship is crucial to career development and advancement in academic medicine with valuable benefits to residents realized during training and beyond. The primary aims of this program are to train faculty members to provide quality mentorship to every resident in our department and to reduce gender and racial disparities in access to mentorship. We piloted a new mentorship program that combines mentor self-nomination, mentor training with mentee-driven mentor selection. This report details the program design and early observations. (A&A Practice. 2021;15:e01474.) GLOSSARYCA = clinical anesthesiology; COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019; MCA = Mentor Competency Assessment; MentorME = mentors in medical education; SD = standard deviation; URM = underrepresented minority in medicine CHALLENGES TO MENTORSHIPCommon barriers to mentorship expressed by faculty include lack of interest, protected time to mentor, formal training in how to successfully mentor, and lack of financial compensation for mentorship. 5 Mentees identify academic interests, professional focus, gender, race/ethnicity of mentors as important variables when seeking a mentor. 5,6 We sought to address these factors in the creation of this mentorship program. MENTORS IN MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM GOALSThe primary aims of this program are to train proficient faculty mentors and to reduce gender and racial disparities in access to quality mentorship for every anesthesiology resident in our department. Specific goals are to promote the personal and professional development of each resident, to model the value of mentorship to residents and faculty and to provide a strong foundational framework that promotes the development of current mentees into future mentors.

“…A 2018 study examining 2065 letters of recommendation found that “grindstone” words indicating work ethic were likelier to be used for White applicants than racial minorities (OR 0.96, p = 0.04) 20 . A more recent study in the United Kingdom found that female trauma and orthopaedic trainees had a 26% increased risk of remediation 21 . A meta-analysis of 22 studies examining attrition within general surgery residents further corroborates this picture, with attrition significantly higher among female compared with male residents (25% vs 15%, p = 0.008) 22 .…”

Teaching in Orthopaedic Surgery: Effective Strategies for Educating the Modern Learner in a Modern Surgical Practice

et al. 2022

Prioritizing the education of orthopaedic surgery residents and fellows is essential for the future of the field. This review highlights strategies that educators may find useful in improving their teaching skills for the modern orthopaedic surgery learner. Educators may benefit from focusing on active, effortful, and repetitive engagement in lecture; setting clear expectations to help track progress in clinic; and breaking skills into smaller steps in context of a framework when teaching procedural skills. Providing objective assessment and growth-oriented feedback helps establish a close rapport between educator and trainee while encouraging personal development. Through a remediation process that examines deficiency in core areas and equitability of the learning environment, the trainee and the educator may engage in a fair discussion that prevents trainees from falling behind. Finally, in the era of COVID-19, e-learning and virtual simulations have become increasingly used as effective modalities for teaching clinical knowledge and procedures to trainees. The medical education landscape has been changing at a rapid pace, and by evaluating and adapting to the novel educational models of today, the modern orthopaedic surgeon ensures a learning environment that is equitable, effective, and inspiring for the orthopaedic surgeon of tomorrow.

“…The consequences of resident dissatisfaction, social isolation, and lack of mentorship can be inferred. Trainees who report less access to mentorship and more feelings of isolation are more likely to also consider withdrawal from residency training 17 . Furthermore, lack of support and mentorship in a field like orthopaedic surgery, where 90% of residents seek fellowship training 18 , could have unintended consequences of limiting networking opportunities that influence fellowship matching.…”
