Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Higher Education Studies

Background:

  • High enrollment at German universities leads to increased student anonymity.
  • Lack of personal contact between professors and students is a significant issue.
  • This anonymity can negatively impact the student experience and academic support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reduce anonymity within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of the Saarland.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a newly introduced faculty mentoring program (Studientutorium).

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a faculty mentoring program (Studientutorium) in 1995.
  • Allocation of small student groups (up to 12) to a dedicated faculty member.
  • Faculty members provided guidance on curriculum, career planning, doctoral theses, and personal issues.
  • Participant interviews were conducted after two years to assess program acceptance.

Main Results:

  • The faculty mentoring program (Studientutorium) demonstrated high acceptance among participants.
  • The program successfully addressed student concerns regarding academic and personal matters.
  • Initial findings suggest a positive impact on reducing student anonymity.

Conclusions:

  • Faculty mentoring programs can be an effective strategy to combat student anonymity in large university settings.
  • The Studientutorium model shows promise for enhancing student support and engagement in medical faculties.
  • Further investigation into long-term effects and broader applicability is warranted.
