Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim : To deliver structured mentorship to first year medical students and to scientifically document its effect on their scholastic performance. Materials & Methods : In a prospective randomised control trial, first year medical student volunteers of Sri Siddhartha medical college and research hospital, 16 capsules of mentorship models were administered. The post mentorship scholastic performance data were collected from the academic records of marks in tests, internal assessment, attendance and other feedback , if any. Results: The mentored group showed statistically significant increase in marks and attendance(p<0.006)when compared to the non-mentored group. The gender wise distribution of marks among boys was statistically significant(p<0.03) in the mentored group when compared to the non-mentored group. However the girls of both the groups did not show any significant value (p>0.10) as the number of girls taken in the study were less. Conclusion: In the present study the students of the mentoring group performed well in their academics and had good attendance when compared to the non-mentored group thus proving effective mentorship.
