Outcomes of a Structured Hospitalist Peer Mentoring Program
Keywords:
Mentor, Mentorship, HospitalistAbstract
Hospitalist programs are often challenged with decreasing physician turnover while adding new physicians to meet hospital growth needs. In addition, newly hired physicians can have significant challenges integrating into a new hospitalist group and hospital. Mentoring programs for new physicians may help alleviate some of these challenges. The Duke-Durham Regional Hospitalist program experienced both high turnover and program growth during 2006-2007 and as a result implemented a structured peer mentoring program for newly hired physicians and physician assistants. The goals of the mentoring program were to improve teamwork, encourage hospitalist medicine as a career, improve mentor confidence and influence, and speed up onboarding of new hospitalists.
