Introduction: In modern society, the role of mentors in training young professionals is significant as they do not only transfer their own experience, but also their traditions and professional culture.
The purpose of this study is to examine the importance of the mentoring role in training of resident neonatologists and their ability to apply the knowledge in effective independent medical activities of practical health care.
Methods: within the premises of the perinatal centers No. 1 and No. 2 in the regional clinical hospitals, which are equipped with modern innovative technologies to provide neonatal care, the department have created appropriate conditions for effective work in the systems of practical health care and atmosphere for the students to acquire and develop students’ clinical and practical skills. The algorithm to follow and the amount of information are presented by the department for training clinical mentors.
The satisfaction of clinical mentors in the quality of training of resident neonatologists was assessed against the knowledge gained in this discipline evaluated by an anonymous questionnaire, which was carried out after the study of compulsory and major disciplines in the period from 2019 to 2022.
Results: based on the analysis of the work carried out, the majority of the students noted the high level of professionalism of clinical mentors, who navigated and guided them in the practical application of their knowledge gained by helping them to focus on the use of the studied material in the professional activities falling short of clinical cases (at the supervision, the Center of practical skills). 92.6% of the respondents noted that clinical mentors were interested in the success of students, showed respect and were demanding in the learning process at the same time. The assessment results of the graduates at an independent examination showed a consistently positive trend in mastering the results of the residency program in the specialty 7R011114 Neonatology.
Conclusions: Mentoring is one of the promising practices for the professional development of doctors and physicians since medicine requires a professional to have practical experience and high skill to ensure the safety of the patient in the process of medical activity.
