Abstract:
Performance coaching can help surgeons, hospitals, and healthcare systems to continually improve patient care delivery by enhancing surgeons' professional development. Equally important, coaching also has great potential to combat burnout, promote physician well-being, and subsequently improve trainee education and experience. In this article, we discuss the rationale for, early evidence for, and ways to address implementation barriers for performance coaching among practicing surgeons and surgical trainees.
