Effectiveness of Telementoring in Surgery Compared With On-site Mentoring: A Systematic Review
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Mentorship is important but may not be feasible for distance learning. To bridge this gap, telementoring has emerged. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of telementoring compared with on-site mentoring.
METHODS: A search was done up to March 2015. Studies were included if they used telementoring between surgeons during a clinical encounter and if they compared on-site mentoring and telementoring.
