Social media in the mentorship and networking of physicians : Important role for women in surgical specialties
Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..
BACKGROUND: Social media may be a useful supplement to physician and trainee interactions; however, its role in enhancing mentorship has not been described.
METHODS: A 35-item survey investigating trainee and physician social media use was distributed. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
RESULTS: 282 respondents completed the survey, among whom 136 (48.2%) reported careers in surgical specialties. Women in surgical specialties were more likely to describe the specialty as being dominated by the opposite sex (p < 0.001) and to be mentored by the opposite sex though wish to be mentored by individuals of the same sex (p < 0.001). Respondents in surgical specialties were also more likely to report using social media to build a network of same-sex mentorship (p = 0.031).
CONCLUSIONS: Social media serves as a valuable tool to enhance the networking and mentorship of surgeons, particularly for women in surgical specialties who may lack exposure to same-sex mentors at their own institution.
