Currently, comprehensive understanding mentorship landscape within trauma care (visceral or skeletal) emergency general surgery (EGS) communities is lacking. study aims identify current environment prevalent practices, discern existing gaps, propose structured interventions enhance quality accessibility led Society Trauma Emergency Surgery (ESTES). Methods Utilizing survey conceived promoted Young section (yESTES), we collected analyzed responses from 123 ESTES members (both in practice training) across 20 countries. The focused on experiences, challenges faced early-career female surgeons, integration non-technical skills (NTS) perceived role societies facilitating mentorship. Results Findings highlighted substantial experience gap, with 74% respondents engaging mostly informal predominantly centered training. Notably, among trainees was less reported, uncovering significant gap. Female representing minority respondents, reported disproportionately poorer access Moreover, while recognized importance NTS, these were inadequately addressed practices. input societies, like ESTES, viewed as insufficient, call programs initiatives such traveling fellowships remote mentoring. Conclusions Our underscores critical gaps EGS Europe, particularly surgeons. A clear need exists more formalized, inclusive that adequately cover both skills. could play pivotal addressing through interventions, fostering supportive, inclusive, well-rounded community.
