Target Audience and Needs

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted stressors within the healthcare system that have adversely affected the practice of medicine and the well-being of healthcare professionals. This series aims to introduce leadership coaching as a means to reduce burnout, increase resiliency, and promote self-awareness. Grounded in positive psychology, leadership coaching is an important modality for learner-directed improvement in performance, professional relationships, communication skills, and personal satisfaction. The series will also demonstrate leadership coaching as a useful tool for promoting faculty development and optimizing personal and professional potential. 

Educational Methods

Educational methods will include lectures, case presentations, and panel discussion.
