Objective: Resident evaluation has shifted from \"time served\" (four years and done) to competency based. What if faculty could use coaching methods to align themselves with residents in promoting their success, allowing each learner to reach their fullest potential?
Methods: Through interactive learning activities, participants will apply coaching techniques borrowed from sports psychology to resident evaluation. We will discuss how to implement this innovative evaluation method in your individual program.
Results: Participants will see how focusing on future performance allows faculty to collaborate with their junior, but highly talented colleagues and guide them to improve their skills, just as coaches of elite athletes do.
Conclusion/ Discussion: Residents are highly skilled and motivated professionals who function like elite athletes. Using sports psychology and coaching techniques, we can help each resident reach their fullest potential, capitalizing on their strengths and mitigating their challenges.
Using this forward-focused technique, faculty and residents work together as a collaborative team that identifies strategies for future performance rather than past actions. This aligns faculty and residents’ efforts on the same goal and avoids the crippling impact of shame.
In this interactive roundtable, participants will have the opportunity to work with a PhD Sports Psychologist and former residency Program Director on specific techniques and implementation strategies for effective resident coaching.
