Event Description

Coaching is well developed in the sporting and music world but do we fully understand it’s role in medical education? During this webinar, we will search for a definition of a coach and try to understand the relationship between coaching and feedback as it applies to the development of medical trainees. Using my lens as an elite athlete, we will explore the similarities and distinct cultural differences between coaching in sports and coaching in medicine. Our panel’s variety of expertise will offer strategies and insight into how we can apply these coaching principles with our trainees.
