Learning Objectives
By the end of this workshop, we hope you are able to:
1. Evaluate your own competency committee as operating under
a problem identification model or a developmental model.
2. Use coaching techniques with your learners.
3. Use your competency committee to guide coaching strategies
for learner improvement.

Problem identification Developmental
“Red flags” and “low-flyers” Helping all residents to improve
Focus on global performance Examine specific strengths/weaknesses
Competence is implicit, just avoid failure
Competence based on comparison to milestones
Feedback delivered by report with minimal follow-up
Feedback delivered by longitudinal mentor/coach

CCC questions to discuss Answer + Explanation Why
What assessment data does your
program collect that can be used for
specific learner feedback?
What challenges do you foresee in
shifting your CCC to a
Developmental Model? (time,
training, etc) What challenges have
you already faced?
What output/feedback does your
CCC provide to learners? Is it
specific and actionable for learners?
If not, how could that be changed?
Who delivers the feedback? Is this
the right person?

competence
Why is Coaching so Important?
Norman G. The adult learner: a mythical species. Acad Med. 1999;74(8):886–889.Davis D, Mazmanian P, Fordis M, Harrison R, Thorpe K, Perrier L.Accuracy of physician self-assessment compared with observed measures of competence. JAMA.2006;296(9):1094–
1102.

• Feedback should be a reflective dialogue • Performance monitored, reflections shared and validated,
activities planned, and follow-up negotiated and monitored.
“In conventional assessment programmes, adherence to minimum standards can suffice for promotion and graduation. In programmatic assessment individual excellence is the goal and the mentor (coach) is the key person to promote such excellence.”
28
Kerri PalamaraMcGrath, MD
Coaching in Medical Education
Consistent, Longitudinal
Built on a relationship of trust
Not a supervisor or evaluator
Understand the system and curriculum
Do not need to be experts
Facilitate reflection and prioritize goals
Active Listening
Relentlessly Positive

What we are doing now
1. Changing the data we review in CCC
(more specific)
2. Planning faculty development in our CCC
3. Planning to recruit coaches
4. Strategizing incentives for coaches
5. Brainstorming on how to measure
change
6. Coaching a handful of residents to pilot
the process

Coaching questions to discuss Answer + Explanation Why
How many coaches will you need? Ratio to learner?
Who can be a coach? Who cannot?
How often should coach and learners meet? Will it be mandatory?
What training will coaches
need? How often? Other
requirements?
How will you recruit and retain
coaches? What incentive can
you offer?
How will you match learners to
coaches?
How do you know if coaches are
effective?
“Feedback cultivates insight. Coaching promotes
performance change”
