Introduction:
This study evaluated residents' assessment of the mentorship received and how it impacted lecture performance as part of a teaching and learning curriculum (TLC) program.
Methods:
An anonymous survey was emailed to residents completing the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Pharmacy's TLC during 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. The survey collected information about: the type of mentorship received, residents' self-perceived lecture performance, and residents' desire to be involved in academia post-residency. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics. Fisher's exact tests investigated the association between residents' self-perceived lecture enhancement due to mentorship and: mentors' involvement, residents' confidence in understanding the lecture topic, mentors' affiliation with VCU, and semester when the lecture occurred. Responses to open-ended questions were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results:
Forty-two of 86 residents (48.8%) completed the survey. Residents who were part of the TLC but did not deliver a lecture (n = 7) or taught practitioners instead of students (n = 2) were excluded, resulting in 33 participants. The majority of residents (87.9%) agreed or strongly agreed that mentorship enhanced their lecture. Mentors' level of involvement was significantly associated with residents' perception that the mentorship they received enhanced their lecture (P < .008). Residents' confidence in understanding the lecture topic, mentor affiliation, and semester when the lecture occurred were not associated with residents' self-perceived lecture enhancement due to mentorship.
Conclusions:
Active mentorship was associated with better self-perceived lecture performance. The best criteria for lecture mentorship should be established in the future to help prepare residents to give lectures.
