导师制是职业发展的重要组成部分，特别是在学术医学领域。同侪辅导不遵循传统的等级制度，可能更容易为代表性不足的群体，包括妇女和少数群体所利用。在这篇文章中，我们回顾了同伴指导的各种模式，突出了各自的优点和缺点。结构化的同伴指导小组存在于不同的环境中，例如在正式职业发展计划的主持下创建的，培训补助金计划的一部分，或通过专业协会。社会媒体还通过参与性在线团体、博客和论坛，为同侪之间的咨询和支持提供了平台，从而进一步促成了非正式同侪指导关系的建立。这些群体可以迅速发展，以应对不断变化的情况，与COVID-19大流行相关的医生列表和Facebook群体就证明了这一点。同伴指导也可以在通过共同的地点，兴趣或目标聚集在一起的同事中找到，通常这些关系是非正式和流动的。最后，我们在这里强调我们有意组建一个小型同侪指导小组的经验，该小组为专业和社交情感成长和支持提供结构和安全空间。为了最大限度地发挥影响和功能，这种同伴指导模式需要同伴之间的承诺和比许多其他同伴指导模式更正式的过程，考虑到团体动态和成员的独特需求。当成功完成时，这些指导关系的深度可以为从事学术医学的个人带来无数好处，包括但不限于那些来自代表性不足的背景的人。
Mentorship is a critical component of career development, particularly in academic medicine. Peer mentorship, which does not adhere to traditional hierarchies, is perhaps more accessible for underrepresented groups, including women and minorities. In this article, we review various models of peer mentorship, highlighting their respective advantages and disadvantages. Structured peer mentorship groups exist in different settings, such as those created under the auspices of formal career development programs, part of training grant programs, or through professional societies. Social media has further enabled the establishment of informal peer mentorship through participatory online groups, blogs, and forums that provide platforms for peer-to-peer advice and support. Such groups can evolve rapidly to address changing conditions, as demonstrated by physician listserv and Facebook groups related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Peer mentorship can also be found among colleagues brought together through a common location, interest, or goal, and typically these relationships are informal and fluid. Finally, we highlight here our experience with intentional formation of a small peer mentoring group that provides structure and a safe space for professional and social-emotional growth and support. In order to maximize impact and functionality, this model of peer mentorship requires commitment among peers and a more formalized process than many other peer mentoring models, accounting for group dynamics and the unique needs of members. When done successfully, the depth of these mentoring relationships can produce myriad benefits for individuals with careers in academic medicine including, but not limited to, those from underrepresented backgrounds.
