近同行指导计划（NPMP）的开发，其中医学生培训计划（MSTP）的学生每周与参加密集的夏季生物医学研究沉浸计划的高中生小组会面。NPMP的目标是为高中生提供和参与表达和讨论他们的研究的机会，更重要的是，他们的压力和担忧。经过最初的预订，NPMP为高中生提供了一个舒适的场所，让他们参与实验室和个人话题的讨论。总的来说，他们的关注和压力表现在五个类别：1）大学准备，2）MD和博士培训和职业的准备，3）暑期研究计划问题和实验室社会结构，4）社会问题，和5）健康和健康。高中生确定了以下主要因素有助于方案的成功：相关性，榜样，舒适性和可接近性，组织和导师适合。近同行指导倡议表明，STEM和其他旨在学术成功和职业发展的计划需要警惕学生的社会和情感问题，并为他们的表达，讨论和指导提供机会。
A Near Peer Mentoring Program (NPMP) was developed in which Medical Student Training Program (MSTP) students met weekly with small groups of high school students who were participating in an intensive summer biomedical research immersion program. The goal of the NPMP was to provide and engage the high school students with opportunities to express and discuss their research and more importantly, their stresses and concerns. After initial reservations, the NPMP provided a comfortable venue for high school students to engage in discussions of both laboratory and personal topics. Overall, their concerns and stresses were expressed in five categories: 1) College Preparation, 2) Preparation for MD and PhD Training and Careers, 3) Summer Research Programmatic Issues and Laboratory Social Structure, 4) Social Issues, and 5) Health and Wellness. High school students identified the following major factors as contributing to programmatic success: relatability, role models, comfort and approachability, organization, and mentor fit. The Near Peer Mentoring initiative revealed the need for STEM and other programs targeting academic success and career development to be alert to social and emotional concerns of students and to provide opportunities for their expression, discussion and guidance.
