Popis: US medical students demonstrate strong interest in receiving global health training. In 2012, the Center for Global Health (CGH) at the University of Illinois College of Medicine (UICOM) developed a Global Medicine (GMED) program to match this interest. From its initiation, mentorship has been a key component of the GMED program. More recently, this has been strengthened by applying additional evidence-informed approaches toward mentoring. These include the “mentor up” approach, a “network of mentors,” and an individualized development plan (IDP). Applying these changes were associated with increases in the number of student abstract presentations and peer-reviewed journal publications. Mentorship based upon evidence-informed approaches should be a key component of global health education in academic medical centers.
