目的：师徒对学生的学业表现和职业发展起着重要的作用。本研究的作者评估了医学生对指导的需求，并在路德维希-马克西米利安大学（LMU）慕尼黑医学院建立了一个新的大规模指导计划。方法：对所有医学院学生（4109名学生中578名，回复率14.1%）进行需求评估。此外，作者还与选定的医学生（n=24）和教员医师（n=22）进行了焦点小组讨论。所有报名参加个别辅导的学生都完成了一份关于他们期望的调查（n=534）。结果：需求评估显示，83%的医学生对LMU的教学总体满意。相比之下，只有36.5%的学生对教师如何支持他们的个人专业发展感到满意，86%的学生表示希望获得更多的个人和专业支持。当被要求定义导师的角色时，55.6%的人“非常”希望他们的导师充当顾问，为他们安排联系（36.4%），并为他们的专业发展提供建议（28.1%）。未来学员“非常”希望讨论的话题包括研究（56.6%）、最后一年的选修课（55.8%）和海外经历（45.5%）。结论：基于医学生对辅导的强烈愿望，作者开发了一种新的两层体系，在临床阶段为学生引入一对一的辅导，并为临床前学生提供基于社会的同伴辅导。项目启动一年后，300多名临床专业学生接受了一对一的辅导，1503名学生和医生参加了同侪辅导社团。
PURPOSE: Mentoring plays an important role in students' performance and career. The authors of this study assessed the need for mentoring among medical students and established a novel large-scale mentoring program at Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich School of Medicine.METHODS: Needs assessment was conducted using a survey distributed to all students at the medical school (n=578 of 4,109 students, return rate 14.1%). In addition, the authors held focus groups with selected medical students (n=24) and faculty physicians (n=22). All students signing up for the individual mentoring completed a survey addressing their expectations (n=534).RESULTS: Needs assessment revealed that 83% of medical students expressed overall satisfaction with the teaching at LMU. In contrast, only 36.5% were satisfied with how the faculty supports their individual professional development and 86% of students voiced a desire for more personal and professional support. When asked to define the role of a mentor, 55.6% "very much" wanted their mentors to act as counselors, arrange contacts for them (36.4%), and provide ideas for professional development (28.1%). Topics that future mentees "very much" wished to discuss included research (56.6%), final year electives (55.8%) and experiences abroad (45.5%).CONCLUSIONS: Based on the strong desire for mentoring among medical students, the authors developed a novel two-tiered system that introduces one-to-one mentoring for students in their clinical years and offers society-based peer mentoring for pre-clinical students. One year after launching the program, more than 300 clinical students had experienced one-to-one mentoring and 1,503 students and physicians were involved in peer mentoring societies.
