          Abstract

          Objective

          Mentorship facilitates successful matching for surgical specialties. A formal mentorship plan may counteract restricted mentorship opportunities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

          Design

          We surveyed medical students applying to surgery specialties who participated in our formalized mentorship program (M F) and those of a prior cohort who were informally mentored (M I). Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA) was used to model qualitative responses.

          Setting

          University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health

          Participants

          Fourth-year medical students who matched into ACGME-accredited surgical specialties.

          Results

          M F students (n=12) met with their mentors more frequently than M I students (n=13; p=0.03). Both groups received career guidance, letters of recommendation and application preparation. However, the M I cohort reported greater psychological and emotional support whereas the M F cohort reported more assistance with skills development.

          Conclusion

          A formalized mentorship program fostered successful mentoring relationships despite limitations from the COVID-19 pandemic.

          Three approaches to qualitative content analysis.

          Content analysis is a widely used qualitative research technique. Rather than being a single method, current applications of content analysis show three distinct approaches: conventional, directed, or summative. All three approaches are used to interpret meaning from the content of text data and, hence, adhere to the naturalistic paradigm. The major differences among the approaches are coding schemes, origins of codes, and threats to trustworthiness. In conventional content analysis, coding categories are derived directly from the text data. With a directed approach, analysis starts with a theory or relevant research findings as guidance for initial codes. A summative content analysis involves counting and comparisons, usually of keywords or content, followed by the interpretation of the underlying context. The authors delineate analytic procedures specific to each approach and techniques addressing trustworthiness with hypothetical examples drawn from the area of end-of-life care.
