Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Health Workforce Diversity

Background:

  • Students from underrepresented groups face significant barriers in pursuing surgical careers.
  • Inclusive mentorship is crucial for addressing these challenges.
  • Outcomes of dedicated surgical mentorship programs for underrepresented learners require further description.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the 3-year outcomes of the UpSurge surgical mentorship program in Canada.
  • To evaluate the impact of mentorship on surgical residency match rates for underrepresented learners.

Main Methods:

  • Quality improvement study utilizing retrospective data from the UpSurge program (2022-2025).
  • Program paired medical students with surgical faculty, fellows, and residents.
  • Included educational workshops and merit-based scholarships.
  • Residency match data collected via mentee self-report and public sources.

Main Results:

  • 235 mentees participated, including Canadian and international medical students/graduates.
  • Of 52 eligible Canadian medical students, 30 (57.7%) matched to surgical disciplines.
  • Scholarship recipients had a high match rate (14/16, 88%) into surgical specialties.
  • General surgery was the most common specialty match.

Conclusions:

  • The UpSurge program demonstrates positive outcomes in surgical residency matching for underrepresented learners.
  • Continued investment in diverse mentorship programs is vital for improving surgical workforce diversity.
  • Mentorship programs like UpSurge can effectively support aspiring surgeons from underrepresented backgrounds.
