Background: This study evaluates the impact of mentors in research productivity in oncology.
Methods: Two electronic surveys were sent out to 1009 oncologists who attended educational workshops between 1996 and 2004.
Results: Response rate was 41.4% (339 of 818). Respondents with mentors are more currently engaged in academic research than those without mentors. Mentorship status did not influence on self-reported publication record or on becoming principal investigators, even when adjusted for other factors.
Conclusions: Mentorship is valuable to oncologists in enhancing their research experiences. In this selected group, mentorship has effects on current involvement in academic research but not on self-reported publication.
