Evaluation of National Conference-Associated Medical Student Research and Mentorship Award for Medical Students, Resident Mentors, and Radiation Oncologist Supervisors

A national conference-associated medical student research and mentorship award has had a positive impact on all three populations involved: medical students in motivation to continue pursuing RO research and career opportunities, RO resident mentors in enhancing mentorship skills, and attending supervisors in inspiring the next generation of prospective RO colleagues. Further research is recommended to determine the impact of the award on subsequent Residency Specialty matching, and whether expansion of this award to other opportunities may be beneficial.
