Existing mentorship models are limited by miscommunication, undefined roles, and mismatched goals. To address these limitations a team of researchers in the US (Mayo Clinic, Indiana University) leveraged insights from agile science and the existing evidence on effective mentorship models to support effective mentoring relationships in healthcare environments. They described the model and shared qualitative findings generated from the independent analysis of 18 months of mentee reflections. In two iterative cycles, reflections (n = 56) were analyzed using exploratory content and relational analysis and identified four main themes – identification of shortcomings, adaptive perspective, managing relationships, and personal growth. According to the researchers the agile mentorship process is a scalable and sustainable framework that is adaptable to various career development processes. Further evaluation is needed to understand the longitudinal impact of the model on mentee performance and satisfaction… read more. Open Access TECHNICAL ARTICLEÂ
