Mentorship experiences of early career academic radiation oncologists in North America

Given concerns about gender equity and career outcomes of academic radiation oncologists, we sought to gather evidence regarding mentorship experiences. We surveyed early career academic radiation oncologists within five years of board certification, using a pre-tested questionnaire. Our results suggest a need for increased facilitation of mentorship of all junior faculty through deliberate, structured programs, and further study is required to elucidate the mechanism driving gender imbalance in laboratory and translational research participation.
