Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag av avhandlingen/ Summary of the thesis

This dissertation explores the significance of group-based mentoring for the education of medical students. We explored 17 global group mentorship programs through a systematic review of literature. Following this, we looked at the experiences of 272 mentors at UiT Norwegian Arctic University, the University of Bergen, and McGill University in Canada.
The study has shown that mentors’ satisfaction was closely tied to gratifying relationships with the students, as well as their own personal and professional development.
Finally, we compared medical students at UiT Norwegian Arctic University before and after the implementation of PROFKOM, a new group-based mentorship program. Students in mentoring groups felt better prepared for clinical practice, communication with patients, and ethical reflection; and reported higher levels of patient-centredness.
This dissertation shows that group-based mentoring has great potential in the education of future doctors, both nationally and internationally.
