Dementsprechend musste unser Mentoring-Programm MeCuM-Mentor seine virtuellen Elemente erweitern, um dem Mentoring-Bedarf an der Medizinischen Fakultät der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München weiterhin gerecht zu werden. Zielsetzungen: Die COVID-19-Pandemie hat zu großen Anpassungen in den Gesundheitssystemen geführt und die medizinische Ausbildung erheblich beeinträchtigt. However, it remains unclear to what extent online formats can replace in-person one-to-one mentoring conversations or peer mentoring meetings. The newly introduced mentoring event PubQuiz will be repeated. In addition, the new event PubQuiz promotes social interaction among peers during isolation due to COVID-19.Ĭonclusion: With the transition to online formats, mentoring at the Medical Faculty could be continued during COVID-19. Utilization rates indicate existing need for mentoring during the pandemic. Results: First results demonstrated feasibility of the above-mentioned virtual formats, which were positively rated by the participants in small voluntary evaluation questionnaires. Methods: Here we report on our recently implemented online formats to facilitate training for currently coached peer mentors, as well as the introduction of an online consultation hour and a new social mentoring event called PubQuiz. Accordingly, our mentoring program MeCuM-Mentor had to expand its virtual elements, in order to continue to meet the needs for mentoring at the medical faculty of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich. Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to major adjustments in health care systems and significantly affected medical education.
