Advisors and Coaches: The Evolving Role of Faculty and Resident Relationships

In meeting the objectives of CBME in helping develop Master Adaptive Learners (MAL), faculty will themselves continue to adapt beyond the traditional approaches of teaching, mentoring, and advising. Coaching is a powerful tool to help support the learner's education, professional development, and well-being. Faculty employing effective coaching skills will enhance residents in their ability to form individual learning plans and empower learners to become MALs. In this webinar, presenters will explore the various roles faculty play and their evolution to a coaching approach while briefly touch-on opportunities for innovation, including ways to enhance coaching in residencies and equipping faculty with coaching skills.
Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Participants will be able to describe the difference between advisors and coaches.
- Participants will be able to list two main types of coaching in an academic setting.
- Participants will be able to describe the benefits of including non-core faculty in coaching roles.
