这篇文章的目的是帮助机构推进他们的努力，以支持研究导师制。作者开始描述机构如何塑造研究导师制的关键领域：（1）选择导师的标准，（2）激励教师有效地担任导师的激励措施，（3）促进导师与学员关系的因素，（4）加强学员负责任地进行研究的能力的因素，及（5）有助于学员及导师专业发展的因素。根据目前文献中对这些领域的概念分析，以及他们在一系列学术医学机构和部门检查指导计划的集体经验，作者提供了一个框架，机构和/或部门的领导者可以调整使用作为工具来记录和监控指导过程的政策，实施这些政策的计划/活动，以及负责维护政策和实施计划的结构。作者提供了一个例子，说明一个假设的机构如何使用自我评估工具来跟踪其政策，计划和结构在研究指导的关键领域，并在此信息的基础上，确定一系列潜在的行动，以加强其研究指导工作。最后，作者简要讨论了自我评估工具的局限性，整体方法的潜在缺点和好处，并提出了该领域研究的下一步。
The purpose of this article is to assist institutions in advancing their efforts to support research mentorship. The authors begin by describing how institutions can shape the key domains of research mentorship: (1) the criteria for selecting mentors, (2) incentives for motivating faculty to serve effectively as mentors, (3) factors that facilitate the mentor-mentee relationship, (4) factors that strengthen a mentee's ability to conduct research responsibly, and (5) factors that contribute to the professional development of both mentees and mentors. On the basis of a conceptual analysis of these domains as currently documented in the literature, as well as their collective experience examining mentoring programs at a range of academic medicine institutions and departments, the authors provide a framework that leaders of institutions and/or departments can adapt for use as a tool to document and monitor policies for guiding the mentorship process, the programs/activities through which these policies are implemented, and the structures that are responsible for maintaining policies and implementing programs. The authors provide an example of how one hypothetical institution might use the self-assessment tool to track its policies, programs, and structures across the key domains of research mentorship and, on the basis of this information, identify a range of potential actions to strengthen its research mentoring efforts. The authors conclude with a brief discussion of the limitations of the self-assessment tool, the potential drawbacks and benefits of the overall approach, and proposed next steps for research in this area.
