Mentorship Experiences Are Not All the Same : A Survey Study of Oncology Trainees and Early-Career Faculty
PURPOSE: Physician workforce diversity can be a driver of institutional excellence, improving innovation and reducing health disparities. However, the current diversity of the hematology/oncology (HO) workforce does not reflect that of the US population.
METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional online survey of current trainees and faculty within 5 years of completing terminal training in oncology specialties.
RESULTS: Of the 306 respondents, 64 (21%) were under-represented in medicine (URiM) and 161 (53%) identified as male. URiM participants were less likely to have a primary mentor (66%) than non-URiM participants (80%; P = .015). Among those who had a primary mentor, URiMs met less frequently (once every 3-6 months or less) with their mentor (19% v 7% non-URiM; P = .003). Furthermore, URiMs were more likely to report having mentors outside their own institution (47% v 40% non-URiM; P = .002) and making compromises to gain access to mentorship (36% v 23% non-URiM; P ≤ 0.001). URiMs were also less likely to apply for grants (34% v 42% non-URiM; P = .035) and awards (28% v 43% non-URiM; P = .019). In multivariable models, URiM individuals were more likely to make compromises to gain access to mentors (odds ratio [OR], 1.96; 95% CI, 1.01 to 3.82) and this remained significant for females (OR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.26 to 3.75).
CONCLUSION: URiM individuals may be less likely to have effective mentorship and apply for awards and grant support. Understanding the challenges of URiM trainees can help shape training environments in academic medicine to ensure that they are grounded in diversity, inclusion, and retention.
