RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: This study explores narratives of physicians negotiating liminality while becoming and being mentors for medical students. Liminality is the unstable phase of a learning trajectory in which one leaves behind one understanding but has yet to reach a new insight or position. METHODS: In this study, we analysed semi-structural interviews of 22 physician mentors from group-based mentoring programmes at two Norwegian and one Canadian medical school. In a dialogical narrative analysis, we applied liminality as a sensitising lens, focusing on informants' stories of becoming a mentor. RESULTS: Liminality is an unavoidable aspect of developing as a mentor. Which strategies mentors resort to when facing liminality are influenced by their narrative coherence. Some mentors thrive in liminality, enjoying the possibility of learning and developing as mentors. Others deem mentoring and the medical humanities peripheral to medicine and thus struggle with integrating mentor and physician identities. They may contradict themselves as they shift between their multiple identities, resulting in rejection of the learning potentials that liminality affords. CONCLUSION: Mentors with integrated physician and mentor identities can embrace liminality and develop as mentors. Those mentors with contradicting dialogues between their identities may avoid liminality if it challenges their understanding of who they are and make them experience discomfort, confusion and insufficiency while becoming a mentor. Support of the mentoring role from the clinical culture may help these physicians develop internal dialogues that reconcile their clinician and mentor identities.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The literature on faculty development programs for mentors is scarce. This study examines mentors' experiences and challenges, with the aim of identifying threshold concepts in mentoring. It also discusses the implications for the faculty development of mentors. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews solicited personal narratives and reflections on mentors' lived experiences. Data analysis was guided by the threshold concepts framework allowing for the identification of significant and transformative shifts in perspectives. RESULTS: We interviewed 22 mentors from two Norwegian and one Canadian medical school with group-based mentoring programs. The mentoring experience involved four significant threshold concepts: focusing on students' needs; the importance of creating a trusting learning space; seeing oneself through the eyes of students; and aligning mentor and physician identities. CONCLUSION: Taking on a mentor role can provoke personal and professional dilemmas while also sparking growth. The trajectories of developing as a mentor and as a professional physician may be seen to mutually validate, mirror and reinforce each other. Faculty development programs designed specifically for mentors should aim to stimulate reflection on previous learning experiences and strive for a successful alignment of the distinct pedagogical and clinical content knowledge required to fulfill various professional roles.
