Description

Mehreen Fatima and co-authors grade a medical school's new mentorship program in this 2025 study. Mentoring is meant to grow students professionally, but a program only works if it is checked and fixed. The team judged the program with the CIPP model, which weighs context, inputs, process, and product, mixing surveys with group talks.

One hundred eighty-two mentees and twenty-nine mentors took part. Only a small share of mentees strongly agreed the program hit its goals, and most mentors rated it merely good. The talks exposed the friction: aims were unclear, pairing of mentors and students felt off, each side found the other hard to reach, and mentors had no training. The authors list fixes in exactly those areas.
