Resident Coaching Program

The role of our coaches

Coaches serve as allies and advocates throughout your residency journey, helping you reach your full potential. Their approach is learner-centered and guided by your goals, motivations, and aspirations.

What coaching aims to achieve

• Actionable feedback: Your coach will help you interpret evaluations, identify key areas for growth, and create a realistic plan to achieve your goals. Regular check-ins provide ongoing feedback so you can track progress.
• Personalized learning: Coaches work with you to recognize strengths, address gaps, and build a tailored learning plan across medical knowledge, clinical practice, communication, and leadership skills. They provide accountability, recommend adjustments, and help you set new goals as you advance.
• Long-term support: Coaches develop strong, lasting relationships with residents, acting as advocates and connecting you with mentors who align with your career aspirations.

Building Community

Each coach family (a coach and their residents) gathers throughout the year for team-building activities that encourage connection and near-peer mentoring. All coach families also come together annually for a “Mega Event” — a day of fun, camaraderie, and friendly competition.
