“…We identified several empirical studies describing evaluations of specific mentoring ACADEMIC CAREER DEVELOPMENT 18 programs, most of which have been developed for, or implemented with, academics in medical or health disciplines. For instance, Serwint, Cellini, Spector, and Gusic (2014) reported that a "speed mentoring" event was positively evaluated by both mentors and protégés. In a study with pediatric academic professionals, Fleming et al (2015) found an increase in the ability to define career goals, as well as career-relevant knowledge, skills, and behaviors following participation in a two-year mentoring program.…”

“…Although collaborative and team work is a common feature of academic medicine, both medical profession and academic community are characterized by hierarchical structures which can deter newcomers from attempts to establish more personal contact with those in senior positions. To overcome this obstacle, academic institutions can encourage interactions and communication between senior and junior faculty, and students, by establishing regular semi-formal meetings and journal clubs, or trying innovative approaches such as "speed-mentoring" events (28).…”

Although there have been studies of research mentoring in developmental-behavioral pediatric training, this is the first to look more broadly at mentoring practices.…”

Objective Junior physicians describe mentoring relationships as integral to their career development and success. Current evidence suggests that mentoring is under-utilized despite interest from trainees. The purpose of this study is to describe the mentoring practices in developmental-behavioral pediatric (DBP) fellowship programs and identify mentoring needs of DBP fellows and recent graduates. Methods Developmental-behavioral pediatric fellows and recent graduates less than 5 years out of training from a US-based DBP fellowship program were contacted through their program directors to complete a survey on their mentoring experiences in fellowship and early career. Results A total of 90 respondents completed the entire survey including 47 current DBP fellows and 43 recent graduates. Only 52% of respondents reported having a formal faculty mentor during their fellowship. Only 45% of recent graduates reported that they currently have a mentor, of those without a current mentor 83% said they would like to have a mentor. Adequate mentoring during fellowship was lowest for career development and research (34% and 27%). Satisfaction with mentoring was associated with having a formal mentor (p<0.001) and receiving mentoring in multiple areas (p<0.001). Qualitative responses suggested that effective mentoring addresses the mentee’s career goals, provides insight into being a developmental-behavioral pediatrician, navigating academics and involves a personal relationship. Conclusion Results suggest an opportunity for improved mentoring in DBP fellowship programs, particularly in the areas of career development and research and that there is a significant need for mentorship among recent graduates. Findings from this study can inform program improvement in mentoring for DBP fellows and recent graduates.
