Started in 2022, COMSEP COACH is an interactive, longitudinal course, based on the competencies of the International Federation of Coaches. The coaching program gives medical educators the skills and resources to effectively coach their learners and peers.
Why Coaching?
Coaching has broad applicability and is focused on asking questions that encourage exploration and curiosity in the coachee. While mentoring is sometimes thought of as creating someone like oneself by directing them, coaching involves helping others achieve their goals by asking reflective and thoughtful questions.
Program Overview
The in-person program includes pre-meeting orientation materials, welcome reception, and a one-and-a-half-day conference taught by certified coaches that will include large group sessions and peer coaching practice. This is followed by longitudinal learning and practice during monthly conference calls via zoom, and a final half day virtual capstone course and celebration!
