Summary
Electronic mentoring (e-mentoring) can supplement traditional medical mentoring, addressing mentor shortages. This review confirms e-mentoring
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Digital Health
- Mentorship Programs
Background:
- A shortage of trained mentors impacts medical training efficacy.
- E-mentoring offers accessible, timely, and longitudinal support for mentees.
- Limited understanding exists regarding e-mentoring's role, especially in blended approaches.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a systematic scoping review on e-mentoring.
- To evaluate gaps in understanding e-mentoring's application in medicine.
- To assess the viability of e-mentoring for novice medical mentoring.
Main Methods:
- Systematic scoping review using Arksey and O'Malley's framework.
- Searched 10 databases including PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, ERIC, and Web of Science.
- Thematic analysis of 18 included articles using Braun and Clarke's approach.
Main Results:
- Identified 6557 abstracts, reviewed 109 full texts, and analyzed 18 articles.
- Key themes: definitions, role, stages, processes, platforms, evaluation, and relationships in e-mentoring.
- E-mentoring shares similar phases with traditional novice mentoring.
Conclusions:
- A clinically relevant definition of e-mentoring was established.
- E-mentoring is a valid component of a blended approach to medical mentoring.
- Blended mentoring can address existing shortfalls in medical mentorship.

Physics is concerned with the interactions of energy, matter, space, and time, in order to discover the underlying mechanisms that underpin all phenomena. The word "physics" comes from the Greek word "phúsis", which means nature. Physics seeks to comprehend the natural world around us at its most fundamental level. It emphasizes the use of quantitative laws to do this, which could be valuable in other fields that want to push the performance boundaries of present...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

01:20Random and Systematic Errors
14.8K
Scientists always try their best to record measurements with the utmost accuracy and precision. However, sometimes errors do occur. These errors can be random or systematic. Random errors are observed due to the inconsistency or fluctuation in the measurement process, or variations in the quantity itself that is being measured. Such errors fluctuate from being greater than or less than the true value in repeated measurements. Consider a scientist measuring the length of an earthworm using a...

01:17Systematic Sampling Method
13.0K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.

The atomic mass of an element varies due to the relative ratio of its isotopes. A sample's relative proportion of oxygen isotopes influences its average atomic mass. For instance, if we were to measure the atomic mass of oxygen from a sample, the mass would be a weighted average of the isotopic masses of oxygen in that sample. Since a single sample is not likely to perfectly reflect the true atomic mass of oxygen for all the molecules of oxygen on Earth, the mass we obtain from this...
