  • Description: Background: Mentorship has been identified as an important factor that can optimize the learning environment and play a critical role in the professional growth and development of students. During clerkship, surgical rotations are primarily based on clinical teaching units where the learners work as a team. Occasionally, students are a part of 1-1 preceptorship model. The structure of the surgical rotation can affect the ability to cultivate a mentor relationship. The purpose of this study is to compare these mentorship models, including the preferences, experiences and learning needs of students for each type of model. Methods: An online survey was distributed to all third- and fourth-year University of Toronto medical students. Sudents are assigned to different teaching hospital sites, where some use the clinical teaching unit model and others use the 1-1 preceptorship model. Participants are currently being recruited. We predict that students in the preceptorship model are more likely to identify a mentor, have a positive operating room learning experience, demonstrate improved perceptions of surgeons and their career, and receive meaningful feedback - important factors in encouraging an interest in surgery. Students in the clinical teaching unit model may have an advantage of receiving guidance from multiple residents. Results: Pending. Conclusion: This study will allow us to identify the key elements of both mentorship models and learn how to enhance the experience of clerkship students to promote high-functioning surgical teaching environments and encourage a greater number of students to pursue a career in surgery.
