A new clinical teaching mode of standardized treatment in colorectal cancer for fellows in training is reported here with good results. This one-year program included medical ethics education, humanistic management, pre job training, clinical thinking mode, surgery teaching, and computerized teaching. This new clinical teaching mode with distinct features is effective and introduced in this article.

5.Mentoring: are we doing it right?
Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore 2009;38(7):643-644
Most clinicians and researchers will acknowledge the importance of mentoring in their respective fields but whether what is done is truly mentoring is presumed rather than explicit. This paper explores the nature and importance of mentorship in the development of a junior faculty member, and the qualities of a good mentor and mentee. It emphasises the multi-faceted complexity of this relationship including its potential problems, and its inevitable termination. This ending might be unexpected, premature and traumatic; or it may be planned when the mentee has developed a certain level of maturity and independence of thinking and judgment. Either situation requires working through this feeling of loss.

Background. Attrition in residency training can lead to lower workplace morale and increased costs. Finding associated factors can help revise admissions criteria or identify at-risk residents.
Objective. We aimed to determine factors associated with attrition among residents in pediatrics.
Methods. We applied a mixed cross-sectional (survey) and retrospective cohort (records review) study design. Residents who began training in the Philippine General Hospital in 2012-2018 were included. Our primary outcomes were non-completion of training within three years (attrition), completion beyond three years or ongoing training at a delayed year level (off-cycle), and the composite of attrition or off-cycle. Fisher's exact probability test and t-test were used to compare the non-attrition group versus the attrition group, and the non-attrition group versus the attrition or off-cycle group.
Results. The overall attrition rate and off-cycle rate among 162 residents were 7.41% and 4.32%, respectively. The survey response rate was 73.00%. Four factors were significantly associated with attrition: higher age at entry into the program (p = 0.030), advanced degree (p = 0.009), longer interval from internship completion to start of residency training (p = 0.017), and a lower case presentation score (p = 0.048). The proportion of respondents older than 29 years was significantly higher in the attrition group than the non-attrition group (40.00% vs 0.94%, p = 0.031). Higher age at entry was also significantly associated with the composite outcome (attrition or off-cycle).
Conclusion. Older age at entry, advanced degree, a longer interval from internship, and lower-case presentation scores were associated with attrition among residents in pediatrics from a single center.
