Popis: Study objective: Mentorship is a key component of successful cardiology training. This study sought to understand the alignment of mentorship priorities for fellow-in-training (FIT) mentees and faculty mentors. Design: Cross-sectional survey study. Setting: Online. Participants: Cardiology mentors and FIT mentees in the State of Connecticut. Interventions: None. Main outcome measures: Likert-scale graded valuations on the importance of and satisfaction with various categories of mentorship by both mentors and mentees. Results were analyzed using Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, where appropriate. Results: Forty-eight percent of FITs (n = 34) and 16% of faculty mentors (n = 34) responded to the survey.

Mentors significantly undervalued the importance to FITs of providing research opportunities (4.5 vs 3.6, p
