Area of Science:

  • Global Surgery
  • Medical Education
  • Gender Equity

Background:

  • Limited mentorship opportunities exist in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
  • The Gender Equity Initiative in Global Surgery launched a virtual mentorship program to address this gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of a virtual mentorship program in bridging the mentorship gap for surgeons in LMICs.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of program surveys from 2022-2023.
  • Analysis of quantitative and qualitative data on applicant demographics, specialty interests, and mentor preferences.

Main Results:

  • 81.3% of 193 applicants were women, with 69.4% having no prior mentorship.
  • Applicants represented 41 countries, predominantly LMICs (35/41).
  • High demand for general surgery, neurosurgery, and cardiothoracic surgery mentorship; preference for international mentors.

Conclusions:

  • The program's demand exceeded capacity, underscoring a significant need for mentorship for women surgeons, especially in LMICs.
  • Virtual mentorship can help bridge geographical and resource gaps in surgical training.
