Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Diversity in Medicine

Background:

  • Historically underrepresented groups face barriers in pediatric surgery.
  • The Alliance of Pediatric Surgeons Growing and Advancing Representation (APGAR) was established to address this gap.
  • A structured, multi-tiered mentorship model was developed to support learners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate the pilot programming of APGAR.
  • To assess participants' perspectives on the mentorship model.
  • To determine the short-term impact of APGAR on career interest in pediatric surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Established longitudinal mentorship groups ('pods') across training levels.
  • Pods met quarterly, supplemented by APGAR-wide virtual programming.
  • Administered pre- and one-year follow-up surveys to assess program impact.

Main Results:

  • 104 trainees and 26 faculty participated across 17 pods and 54 institutions.
  • APGAR significantly increased appreciation for pediatric surgery careers (78% vs. 94%, p=0.031).
  • Most participants expressed interest in pursuing pediatric surgery (56%) and valued the mentorship (77%).

Conclusions:

  • APGAR programming effectively engaged learners in pediatric surgery.
  • Structured virtual programming and mentorship fostered early interest and exploration.
  • Participants highly valued the mentorship in shaping their career perspectives.
