Summary

Mentorship is increasingly recognised as a core component of career advancement, medical education and psychosocial support.

Mentorship is defined as the relationship between a mentor and a mentee, where both collegially gain from an open and active relationship

Overall, there is little known about mentorship in anaesthesia.

To our knowledge, no study has yet explored the fostering of an anaesthetic mentor-mentee relationship from the point of view of the mentor and mentee themselves. Preferences with regards to implementation programs versus free choice and the importance of sociodemographic characteristics (gender, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, age) have also yet to be investigated.

The prevalence of mentor-mentee relationships/ the understanding of mentor and mentee choice in anaesthesia will be studied.

In parallel, key socio-demographics that are linked to the choice of mentor-mentee, as well as evaluate availability of mentors, and other barriers to finding mentorship will also be investigated.

Hypothesis: mentorship might be affected by demographics such as gender, age, ethnicity, working country, experience, academia and subspecialty.
