Mentoria virtual para profissionais de saúde rurais
caracterização dos participantes, aprendizados e principais desafios
Abstract
A escassez de profissionais de saúde em áreas rurais deixa quase dois bilhões de pessoas sem acesso a serviços essenciais de saúde. Para enfrentar esse desafio, o Mentor Mentee Program foi desenvolvido como uma iniciativa global de mentoria virtual voltada a apoiar profissionais e estudantes interessados na saúde rural. Neste artigo, descrevemos a criação de um curso de mentoria virtual e a implementação do programa Mentor Mentee 2.0. Foi adotada uma abordagem de pesquisa qualitativa, envolvendo mentores com pelo menos cinco anos de experiência em áreas rurais e mentorados que atuavam ou pretendiam atuar nesse contexto. O programa recebeu 55 inscrições de 27 países, resultando em 15 duplas de mentoria e dois grupos de mentorados. Apesar de desafios como a desistência de mentores, a baixa participação de profissionais não médicos e as dificuldades de conectividade, a iniciativa demonstrou a viabilidade e o valor da mentoria virtual como ferramenta de desenvolvimento profissional, troca de conhecimento e redução do isolamento profissional. Estudos adicionais são necessários para aprofundar a compreensão da mentoria como estratégia de desenvolvimento profissional e avaliar seus impactos sobre o recrutamento e a retenção de profissionais de saúde em contextos rurais e remotos.
