Practical tips to implement coaching in medical education and foster master adaptive learners

Coaching is emerging as a way to support learners’ academic, professional identity and well-being goals in medical education. Coaching, via its unique framework of support that is different from advising, can especially enhance the process of each of the phases of the Master Adaptive Learner (MAL) framework and support lifelong learning. Scant literature exists on ways to assess coaches and evaluate coaching programs so that benefits can be quantified and investments justified. Coaching competencies can be used to identify and develop tools to train and assess coaches for all trainees across the medical education continuum including learners from diverse backgrounds.

Attend this American Medical Association webinar and be able to:

-Define coaching and identify competencies that make a successful academic coach

-Describe the MAL model and explain how coaching supports MAL and lifelong learning
