          Abstract: Introduction: The Mentoring Program of the Medical School at UNIFAL-MG was inspired by Mentoring Programs implemented in Medical Schools in Brazil since the 1990s, recognizing that training to be a physician is marked by intense academic and emotional stress. Experience report: The Mentoring Program has a preventive and supportive role for the personal and professional development of medical students. The actions aim to accompany the student longitudinally to provide moments of reflection, awareness, and the skills to face the academic, social and professional environment. The mentor represents a supportive model figure for the student, to help him overcome the difficulties in the process of being a physician. Discussion: According to the participants, the Mentoring Program allows the exchange of experiences, learning and reflection on relevant topics of the profession and academic life, meeting the requirements of the National Curriculum Guidelines for Medical Courses for general, humanistic, critical, reflective and ethical training. Conclusion: The Mentoring Program exemplifies a method of intervention for prevention and health promotion during medical training and contributes to the development of skills in both a personal and professional setting.

          Mentoring programs for medical students - a review of the PubMed literature 2000 - 2008

          Background Although mentoring is acknowledged as a key to successful and satisfying careers in medicine, formal mentoring programs for medical students are lacking in most countries. Within the framework of planning a mentoring program for medical students at Zurich University, an investigation was carried out into what types of programs exist, what the objectives pursued by such programs are, and what effects are reported. Methods A PubMed literature search was conducted for 2000 - 2008 using the following keywords or their combinations: mentoring, mentoring program, medical student, mentor, mentee, protégé, mentorship. Although a total of 438 publications were identified, only 25 papers met the selection criteria for structured programs and student mentoring surveys. Results The mentoring programs reported in 14 papers aim to provide career counseling, develop professionalism, increase students' interest in research, and support them in their personal growth. There are both one-to-one and group mentorships, established in the first two years of medical school and continuing through graduation. The personal student-faculty relationship is important in that it helps students to feel that they are benefiting from individual advice and encourages them to give more thought to their career choices. Other benefits are an increase in research productivity and improved medical school performance in general. Mentored students also rate their overall well-being as higher. - The 11 surveys address the requirements for being an effective mentor as well as a successful mentee. A mentor should empower and encourage the mentee, be a role model, build a professional network, and assist in the mentee's personal development. A mentee should set agendas, follow through, accept criticism, and be able to assess performance and the benefits derived from the mentoring relationship. Conclusion Mentoring is obviously an important career advancement tool for medical students. In Europe, more mentoring programs should be developed, but would need to be rigorously assessed based on evidence of their value in terms of both their impact on the career paths of juniors and their benefit for the mentors. Medical schools could then be monitored with respect to the provision of mentorships as a quality characteristic.

            Where students go when they are ill: how medical students access health care.

            Doctors have high levels of self-treatment, investigation and referral, but little is known about how medical students seek health care. Methods We carried out a questionnaire survey of Year 2 and 4 students, exploring their health-seeking behaviour and attitudes to self-care. A London medical school. The response rate was 80%. Nearly all students (99%) were registered with a general practitioner (GP). A total of 43% had informally consulted doctors who were friends or relatives in the previous 12 months (61% of those with a doctor as a family member had informally consulted, and 33% of those without a doctor as a family member had informally consulted; P = 0.001). In all, 13% of Year 4 students and 2.2% of Year 2 students had received a prescription from a friend (P = 0.007). Almost a quarter (22%) of Year 4 and 1.3% of Year 2 students reported having directly contacted a specialist (P = 0.01). A third (32%) (43% Year 4, 1.3% Year 2; P = 0.006) of those referred in the previous 12 months had contacted the consultant directly. In all, 9.2% (0% Year 2, 20% Year 4; P = 0.001) had initiated their own investigations, and 25% (47% Year 4, 7% Year 2; P = 0.001) had been examined by a colleague. Students agreed that it was appropriate for doctors to self-investigate (52%), self-refer (59.1%) and self-prescribe (39.2%). Medical students appear to bypass their GPs and initiate investigations, referrals or treatment. This is associated with increased clinical access or access through family members. Self-management of illness is learnt early on in students' careers and is increased with availability and increasing clinical access.

              Mentoring: uma vivência de humanização e desenvolvimento no curso médico

              Programas de Tutoria, por meio de uma relação próxima junto aos alunos, oferecem suporte e, também, um ambiente de reflexão para uma formação profissional segundo as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para os Cursos de Graduação em Medicina. O objetivo foi compreender a experiência vivida por alunos de Medicina na atividade de Tutoria da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brasil. Pesquisa documental com análise fenomenológica dos relatórios produzidos pelos alunos. Os elementos experienciais revelaram três conjuntos temáticos: 1 O contexto da tutoria; 2 O vivido na tutoria; 3 A avaliação da experiência. A relação de tutoria mostrou contribuir tanto no enfrentamento das vicissitudes da formação quanto no exercício de habilidades como: a escuta, a aceitação e a comunicação, fundamentais para a boa atuação do médico. Revelando interseções entre as ações de suporte ao estudante e as demandas de formação em áreas humanísticas no currículo médico.
