Background: Mentorship is critical for achieving success in academic medicine and is also considered one of the core professional competencies for residency training. Despite its importance, there has been a decline in the mentor-mentee relationship, largely due to time constraints and lack of clear guidelines for productive discussions. We provide a mentorship curriculum with an easily adoptable workbook which may serve as a guide for programs seeking more formalized mentorship opportunities. Methods: We created a mentorship curriculum that was divided into 4 quarterly sessions, each with topics to facilitate career guidance and development, and to provide insight into the practical aspects of business of medicine. The mentorship pilot curriculum was implemented during the 2017 to 2018 academic year. Specific questions were provided to stimulate reflection and appropriate discussion between resident mentee and faculty mentor. A post-curriculum survey was distributed to evaluate the effectiveness and satisfaction of the curriculum. Results: A total of 23 residents participated in this pilot project. A majority had not had any formal teaching related to the business aspects of medicine (82%). Upon completion of the curriculum, most residents felt several topics were sufficiently covered, and a majority were satisfied with the course and relationship developed with their mentor (87%). Conclusions: Our pilot curriculum provides a model to address a knowledge gap in the practical aspects of medicine while simultaneously enhancing residency mentorship. The one-year course was generally well-received by residents and can serve as a model to other academic residency programs with similar challenges and goals.

通过“医学业务”课程正式实施住院医师指导计划

背景：指导对于在学术医学方面取得成功至关重要，也被认为是住院医师培训的核心专业能力之一。尽管它很重要，但导师与受指导者的关系一直在下降，这主要是由于时间限制和缺乏有效讨论的明确指导方针。我们提供了一个指导课程，其中包含一个易于采用的工作手册，可以作为寻求更正式指导机会的项目的指南。方法：我们创建了一个指导课程，该课程分为 4 个季度课程，每个课程都有促进职业指导和发展的主题，并提供对医学业务实践方面的洞察。指导试点课程在 2017 至 2018 学年实施。提供了具体问题，以激发驻地学员和教师导师之间的反思和适当的讨论。分发了一项课后调查，以评估课程的有效性和满意度。结果：共有23名居民参与了该试点项目。大多数人没有接受过任何与医学商业方面相关的正式教学（82%）。完成课程后，大多数居民认为几个主题都被充分涵盖，大多数人对课程和与导师发展的关系感到满意（87%）。结论：我们的试点课程提供了一个模型来解决医学实践方面的知识差距，同时加强住院医师指导。
