医学中未得到充分代表的人（URM）的培训生和放射肿瘤学（RO）医生的指导机会有限。本研究的目的是创建并评估一个面向对多元化、公平和包容感兴趣的URM和盟友的正式指导计划。由放射肿瘤学住院医师协会（ARRO）平等和包容性小组（EISC）设计了一个包含虚拟平台的指导计划，设计为在6个月内进行6次会议，根据已公布的在线兴趣表格的回复进行匹配的导师/学员配对。提供基于证据的指导方针以优化指导关系。链接的计划前后调查被用来收集人口统计数据，定义基线目标和支持水平，并评估计划的满意度。匹配了35对指导师/学员，31名学员完成了计划前调查，17名学员完成了计划后调查。在计划前，只有3名学员（9.7%）对当前的指导非常满意，5名学员（16%）报告其课程有支持URM的机制或指导。在计划后的调查中，学员报告高度满意的指导领域、导师属性和整个计划。需要改进的机会包括实施机制以增强导师/学员配对的沟通并保持长期参与。在RO为URM和对DEI感兴趣的人定制的第一个指导计划中，我们的结果表明，对于在RO中获得更好指导的URM有自报兴趣，并且国家范围的结构化指导计划可以提高参与者的满意度来满足其目标。计划扩大可以为RO中的URM和盟友提供更多的职业发展机会，并在该领域内促进更广泛的社区和包容感。版权所有©2023。由Elsevier Inc.发表。

There are limited opportunities for mentorship for Underrepresented in Medicine (URM) trainees and physicians in radiation oncology (RO). The purpose of this study was to create and evaluate a formal mentorship program open to URMs and allies with interests in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).A mentorship program incorporating a virtual platform was designed by the Association of Residents in Radiation Oncology (ARRO) Equity and Inclusion Subcommittee (EISC). It was structured to include 6 sessions over 6 months with matched mentor/mentee pairs based on responses to a publicized online interest form. A compilation of evidence-based guidelines was provided to optimize the mentorship relationship. Linked pre- and post-program surveys were administered to collect demographic data, define baseline goals and level of support, and evaluate program satisfaction.Thirty-five mentor-mentee pairs were matched; 31 mentees completed the pre-program survey and 17 completed the post-program survey. Pre-program, only 3 mentees (9.7%) reported satisfaction with current mentorship and 5 (16%) reported mechanisms or mentorship in place at their program to support URMs. On the post-program survey, mentees reported high satisfaction with areas of mentorship, mentor attributes, and the program overall. Opportunities for improvement include implementation of mechanisms to enhance communication with mentor-mentee pairs and maintain longitudinal engagement.In the first-ever tailored mentorship program in RO for URMs and those with DEI interests, our results demonstrate that there is self-reported interest for better mentorship for URMs in RO, and that a nationwide structured mentorship program can address participants' goals with high satisfaction. Program expansion could provide URMs and allies in RO more opportunities for career development and promote a greater sense of community and inclusion within the field.Copyright © 2023.
