Strategies for Successful Mentorship of Female and Underrepresented-in-Medicine Critical Care Trainees

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses strategies for successful mentorship of female and underrepresented trainees in medicine. Mentoring is a dynamic and reciprocal relationship between a mentor and a mentee aimed at promoting the development of both individuals. It involves teaching, guidance, socialization, and personal support. Studies have shown that having a mentor can lead to increased earnings, academic success, research productivity, and career satisfaction. However, women and underrepresented minority trainees face more barriers to finding mentors and experience less effective mentoring. To overcome these barriers, strategies like structured mentorship programs, proactive assistance in finding mentors, mentorship training, and addressing bias and discrimination are recommended. It is important to include all key stakeholders and create a climate free of discrimination to ensure the success of mentorship programs.
