Announcing an exciting opportunity with the UME Longitudinal Coaching Program
While the concept of coaching has been enthusiastically adopted in medical education (in line with the transition to CBME), the operationalization of the concept within our context has been a slower learning curve. Over the years, we have been learning more about how to develop the role of longitudinal coaching (coaching over time) to benefit our learners the way we intend. With this in mind, we have been rebuilding and restructuring our undergraduate medical education coaching program to create an experience that we envision will be rewarding for both parties (coach and coachee).
One of the big changes is that the coaching is predominantly voluntarily, students opting into the program when they perceive benefit in what the program has to offer.
